broke the bolt in the block

Gave it some more PB Blaster and went in as gently as I could to try and remove the bolts but it broke. This is the long lower Bolt because through the starter mount through the transmission bellhousing and into the engine block. At least I know now why my starter wasn't working anymore. The gear teeth raw shredded. It did a little damage to the flywheel too.



I'm looking up videos for removing the broken part of that Bolts from the engine block, and because of how awkwardly placed it is if I can even get the bolt out at all I'll need to pull the engine out of the car.

Here comes fun! Eric the Car Guy to the rescue?

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
