Default OWNED: Broken spark plug cover plate bolts. Help

So, this is my first time changing plugs in the r ( i have changed plugs in ther hondas b4). I had the socket clicked in the wrong direction while i tried to loosen the rounded nut that holds the Spark plug /wire gray plate that is on teh valve cover.
Just like that I broke 2 (yes, I did not learn from the 1st one) of the bolts. The bolts kind of snapped off the end ( I do not know how to post pics), now I only have to bolts to hold the cover plate.

How hard is it to replace these bolts? Is this removable from by just uncovering the valve cover? Pls advice.

hey bro not a hard thng to change. take the valve cover off and you will see the stud there
on the bottoim of the stud, there is a section that a 10mm wrench (or deep socket ) will take the stud out. remember righy tighty, lefty loosey

You will need the deep socket more than likely. Call Len @ Baranco Acura and he can fix you up with the parts you need for a good price.

deep socket is hella easier. but at work when i dont feel like heading over to get the really deep sockets (this is the long stud for the spark plug cover nuts) i just double up the 10 mm with an 11mm or get the 10mm long wrench.
