Default Cost to remove broke header bolt on 3.9

I noticed that my heat shield flaps around and makes some noise and also noticed that the threaded part of the bolt is still stuck in the engine. Just wondering how much it might cost to remove the broken portion and get a new bolt? Thanks ahead of time.

Depends on where it broke. If it is flush with the blocks they may be able to drill into the bolt a little bit and use an easy out. This could take up to an hour for say because of the awkward positions ect.. If it is sticking out a pair of vise grips and come torque and it may be out. I would look around and ask for some quotes but as you know Id add some time onto it. just in case things don't go as planned.
