One of the necessary tools in automotive repair: A MIG Welder. OxyAcetylene torch set too.
Without this, I'd be trying, very likely in vain, to lock a pair of Vice Grips onto the broken bolt. When that didn't work, I'd be removing the engine completely, or towing the car to a mechanic with a welder, or to a machine shop.
(Kid B wants to learn to weld. She looks like an industrial Oompa-Loompa.)
Note: I was a good Porsche mechanic and disconnected the car's DME computer (in front of the passenger's side footwell on this year model) BEFORE putting 135 amps of crazy current through the car.
