go to the junk yard get a good one, and if you have enough rome vice grips should work. if that just takes down the thread, try irwns bolt removers, they are revised threaded to cut into d bolts, and nuts.

they sell a reverse grip for broken stud, mostly will not work if you torque them down really good. most of the time you'll be faster drilling the bastard out.

bolt and bushing will be availble in honda, get it new, nothing is worth than snapping another bolt after you remove the old one.

Those studs act as a cam cap bolt. They have a bolt head at the bottom of the stud part where you broke it. Just unscrew it and put a new one in. They break often, just be careful next time since you put a ton of pressure on it the first time.

Remove your valve cover and use a wrench there is a nut on the stud to remvoe it.
