i had to remove the starter to wedge the flywheel to keep it from moving. when i applied force to the cheater bar the head of the bolt and about an inch snapped off, the rest of the bolt is left in the crank. how can i remove this? i have a really bad feeling about this.

No big deal. At least it is a big bolt other than a exhaust manifold stud or something little like that. All's you need to do it drill into the bolt a little ways with an EZ out kit. Not overly expensive and VERY effective. Basically what it does is the drill spins one way and the bit it threaded another direction. So when it catches is will pull out the rest of the bolt. I have used them many times on broken studs and bolts. Very effective and cheap considering what it COULD cost you. Just go to any hardware store or auto parts store and tell them you need an EZ Out. They will know what you mean.
