Do you have pictures?

If it is still drivable, see if a machine shop could help you extract it. Otherwise, remove as much as you can from the driver's side near the bolt and see if you can extract it yourself.

What happened was I was taking off my power steering pump and the bolt broke. I will get pictures up soon, but if I take it to a local machineist shop how much you think that would cost around. Alright thanks.

So which bolt broke? The power steering mounting bracket bolt?

You can get a bolt extractor from sears, they work just fine.

Yes it will work, Got the idea?

They sell them at Sears. I would order a new bolt from Acura, just be sure not to snap it again.
