Default B16A Tranny Release Arm/Spring 12mm Bolt Broken!!! S.O.S.

Soooo 1991 HF with a B16 LSD Cable Swap. The whole engine was locked up so I ripped off the tranny to a pleasent surprise. It was a bolt that was wedging the flywheel. The pics should be self explanatory but how the hell does this happen??? The 12 mm bolt in the marked photo broke off as you can see... The threads are still in tact I believe so it is still functional (maybe lol please, opinions welcome). My Starter also mildly exploded but the missing pieces of the casting are as if they disintegrated Lol. Quite the beautiful mess.... the crank does spin now so atleast I have that going for me. I have a course of action but would like opinions. Thanks for your time.

someone over-torqued the bolt. Drill it out and replace it.
