Go to the nearest machine shop

It is a difficult job to get those six broken studs out of there. But there are any number of small shops that can do it with the HB on the crank. I wouldn't take that off unless there is no other way. Getting it off is difficult, getting it back on right I understand is near impossible for a novice mechanic. So find a mechanic who will come out, or one that has a shop, pull the radiator and do it. From reading past threads, I think that over tightening of the belts can really do a number on those six small studs. Don't make those belts too tight!
