You might try an easy out to get the piece of bolt out or take the water pump off to get the bolt out. At worst you'll have to replace the water pump and pulley and one bolt.

so the broken bolt is it one of the four that hold the pulley on? maybe there is some tread sticking thru the back and you can grab it with some pliers and remove it from the rear,

If a piece of the bolt is sticking out where you can get some vice grips on it with the pulley off you're home free. Then you will just need the one bolt to replace that one but it may be wise to replace all of the bolts. You'll have to loosen the other three bolts somewhat ,release the tension on the belt tensioner with a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar and take the belt off of the pulley. Then by hand take the other bolts out. Get the other bolt out and replace with new bolts. The diagram that Afixer supplied should tell you where the bolts are for the water pump if you need to replace the pump.
