Pat,
It seems to me that with the head broken off, there shouldn't be
anything to keep it on.  Providing of course you remove the other bolt. 
The housing might have some built-up deposits keeping it in place.  In
that case, a few raps with a rawhide or plastic head mallet should free
it.

Regards,
Joe
