Left hand bits are not easy to find locally .... and cost more than regular bits... but compared to having to take out the radiator or other stuff.. which does involve risks in themselves.... it may be worth it..... I have never had a left hand bit fail to take out a bolt.....

The pump bolt is below the surface of the pump. I'll go look at the piece that broke to see how square it is. The hole of the old pump will likely help but I may need to pull the radiator and move the condenser.
I'll see what the stores have. I need to go buy new bolts anyway.
