Question
How Do I remove and replace a Broken Bolt from a 1991 honda accord water pump housing, just above the tension?

Answer
If you have a stub remaining,there is a tool called an easy out which you can buy at any parts store.You may need to do some careful drilling and possibly you will be best having a tap and die set handy.Spray lots of wd40 around the bolt and let it sit for 24hrs first.If you go to google,there are many sites which show how to remove broken bolt heads or some which are left in the engine.
