240 Water Pump: Broken Stud

Dear Brickboard,

After replacing the water pump on my 1993 240 wagon I found a substantial coolant leak around the heater return pipe. I stupidly tightened the nut on the stud above the pipe instead of the nut/bolt on the pipe itself and I broke the stud.

Now I need to remove and replace the stud so I can re-attempt to properly install the water pump. I tried using vise grips, but this just further damaged the broken stud. How can I remove the stud?

Also, is this the correct replacement stud?
