You are on the right track. If you take it to Honda, that is what they will do. The same thing happened to me and they basically took a torch, melted the bushing out and pressed out the remaining. The bolt is a 10-1.25 x 84mm. It is a hard bolt to find in a hardware store as it is not very common, but you can find them. Just make sure it is a grade 8 bolt otherwise it could snap. If you want a genuine Honda one, they are about $10 at the dealer. I believe the bushing is about $20. If you want them to put it in, it will run you $50-$75 depending on the labor rate at the shop. This is a very common problem. You are not alone!
Good luck!
