Same happened to me, you might be lucky and get it out using a stud extractor. There about £5 from local motor factor. Size wise i'm sure thats in the wiki

If it's the rear I would just change the cylinders - that's what I did as they tend to be at the end of their lives anyway unless they have already been changed.

It depends on the condition of the brake pipe really - it is a good excuse to get everything in good order in there - springs, shoes etc.
Have a read of the Wiki

I thought that was the price of the stud extractor.

In an emergency you can get away with bleeding via the pipe nut
