Broken cantilever stud

So I was riding along, and I hear a loud snap, look down, and my front cantilever brake is all over the road and a spoke is broken, not sure what happened...

Anyways, I've been trying to figure the best way to attempt a repair and was wondering if anyone had some good advice

Here's the damage:

Half the stud has broken off, and I could buy a replacement stud but the broken bit makes that impossible. There's this thread http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...antilever+stud but that's a little confusing, and I think I have a different problem. In that thread they describe a repair kit, could that thing help me somehow? I tried to grab that tiny piece of metal sticking out with needlenose pliers, but that didn't work...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
