Drill & tap the remaining pin to a 10-32 and use a slide hammer.

x2 and It would be a good idea to double pin it and if you buy a new cam ask for it to have a .4375 bolt too.

is it a "soft " pin or a hardened one. will I need a special drill bit?

it should be soft if it's like all the pins i've saw.2 pins would be a real good idea too.i guess you have some bent valves?

well I got the broken piece out. a lot easier than I thought it would be. it was a soft pin. center drilled it and out it came. no slide hammer needed.
