how tight did you get them? If you start taking stuff back apart can you a get a big pair of vice grips on it and back it out that way?

I can't use vice grip because the there are no appearing bolts to hold it back , i broke 2 because i was thinking that the way to unscrew them is clockwise not counter clockwise any way no body learned for free

If you don't have a service manual, then get one. If you don't have a torque wrench, get one. Assume all bolts unscrew counterclockwise unless otherwise stated in your manual.
Send pics, it's difficult to imagine what is happening from your written description.
I hope that helps a bit.

wow.....either i smell a troll.....or its a major +
after you broke the first one and thought you turned it the wrong way, why wouldn't you try the other way on the second one?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I'm glad I'm not the only one that still has no clue as to which bolt OP is referring.
edit: just hit me. How did you snap a bolt in the engine. You're much more likely to strip out the threaded hole than you would be to snap a fastener.
