Scott,

Usually when bolts break off during installation, they are not too hard to get out because they are fresh. It is harder when they break on attempted removal.

If you reinstall the pump with your torque wrench, check the calibration before you use it. Alternatively, don't use a torque wrench for a water pump.

If you have to drill the bolt out, don't drill too deep. Depending upon which bolt it is, you can drill all the way through the cylinder wall. It happened to someone here on the board once.

If you do drill all the way into the cylinder, you will probably start to hate the car and you may even start to hate the engineers who put the cylinder behind the water pump.
