While a PITA, this is not that big a deal. I've had this happen (in fact my B18 had the exact same stud break). Soak it in your favourite penetrating oil and then get an easy-out bolt extractor (Sears, Snap-On, automotive supply etc.). Centre punch the stud and drill a hole into the stud, then insert the easy-out and voila - good as new. There will be a little loss of religion, but I've always had good luck with extracting broken studs/bolts. If you are still having some trouble (penetrating oil not doing the trick), warm the area (not the stud) with a propane torch (warm, not heat) and give it another try.

If this doesn't work, you'll have to pull the head and take it in for repair...but I'm sure you'll be able to get it out.

Good Luck.
Craig
