Ok as you can see I broke a bolt trying to tighten cable, what is this thing called and how do you change it?

It is a starter solenoid. You just unbolt it from the firewall and put on the new one. Make sure you disconnect the battery first.

The bolts are not on the inside. They are on the top and the side of that part. It is a 10mm bolt.....easy to change. But like Mike said, dissconnect the battery first.

Third that... LOL... the screws are the 8/10mm shown on the SILVER part of your enlarged screen pic. BTW... Re-clicking on the ENLARGED pic leads to way TMI Learn how to post the single picture you need/want to show. Just my 2 cents
