Default Removing snapped cam cap stud on LS head

The inner side (longest bolt of the 2). I snapped and how do I get it out? I bought some thing from a local store and it sucks ***. Any suggestions? What about a machine shop? Like oif I drove in there and popped the cover so they could pull it?

Thanks for any input.

Take off the cam cover then you can take out the stud w/ a wrench or deep socket. I think its 10 or 12mm. Honda dealer has them for about $5

take a small flat head screw driver that can go into the hole and turn it until it comes out....works for me all the time.....If thats what your talking about...try that.

Thanks

Go to an auto parts store and buy an "easy out" and the proper size drill bit to go with it. You just drill in to the center of the snapped bolt and then turn in the easy out counter clockwise. It grabs and unscrews whats left of the bolt. This happens all the time to me and the easy out works.
