Default Big problem with clutch/throwout bearing on a G35.

i'm posting this here because the g and z are basically the same thing...
so here's my issue:
My friend calls me last week and says his clutch pedal fell to the floor.. he also mentioned his clutch was slipping for about 2 weeks. okay, so he orders a new clutch and i agreed to replace it for him.
so we replace the clutch and nothing major seems wrong with it. the slave cylinder works properly, no leaks of fluid, nothing..

here's the problem. i went to replace the throwout bearing.. so i see that arm that's connected to it is kinda flopping around. we're able to remove it completely. to my dismay i find that there's a some bolt that snapped off that's connecting that arm to the bellhousing... can this be replaced? if so, does anyone know the part number? i'm planning on going to the parts department at the dealer tomorrow and i'd like to be prepared.. usually the guys that work at parts dept's don't know what the hell they're talking about(i drive a celica... toyota parts guys are morons...). If anyone can help me i'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

edit: sorry if this is in the wrong section. feel free to move it if it is.

Am I understanding the post correctly, you just need a bolt? Why not go to a hardware store and find a new bolt?

i went to the dealer this morning and found it.. that ball that it pivots on screws into the inside of the bell housing, but it snapped off. the replacement should be here in a couple days.

thanks for the replies.
