Engine cover bolts broken :(

So when i was trying to change my spark plugs the engine cover bolts all broke off and i was wondering how i can try to get the remaining part of the bolt off and where to pick up new ines?

There is only one engine cover bolt. The other two are studs. Did you break just the bolt?

The stud closest to the rear of the engine broke on my PF. I bought a new bracket which had the stud.

Well all three of them are broken so does that mean i need all new brakets?

How does a 10mm socket snap off 2 studs and a bolt?

Just leave the cover off. It's purely cosmetic.

Yeah, just leave the cover off. It's not worth the money to replace the brackets. If you really still want to, I can find the part numbers for the brackets.

The studs/bolts only break if you overtorque them. They don't need 80,000 hojillion ft-lbs of torque.
