you need to get a TAP KIT!!!! you can remove it by drilling a new hole inside that old stud and putting the TAP in there and just unscrewing it. You can also just call your local Acura Dealer to get you new head bolts man, they aren't that expensive. Take your time when your drilling the new hole inside that stud other wise your gonna screw yourself over!.... and about taking the head off, just unscrew the 4 bolts on the corners and then the 4 in the middle that are right next to your spark plug wires.
