Default Broken bolt

I was replacing my valve cover head gasket, and when I was tightening the bolts back up, one of them broke. It is the one in the middle close to the spark plug wires. Can I get it out and replace it, or do I have to get a whole new internal piece its connected to. By the way its a 94 GSR.
Thanks for any input.
Pelon87.PS: Ill get picks up soon

You have to replace the whole stud. If you provide a picture, I can provide a part number.

I'm sure he talking about the double sided bolts that poke up through the valve cover that are tighten w/10mm dome nuts. I have 2 spares cause I had that problem once. So when I went to the dealership I bought 3 of them.

Yeah they are the ones that poke up through the valve cover on have the little dome nut, it also the one that you can put the little mettal cover over the spark plugs to hide them. How much did they run you.
Thanks for the info guys.

They're like 3 bucks and some change from the dealership each. They should have them in stock, simply cause they snap when the techs wrench on them.
