Thanks, Tony, for taking the time to help me get that stupid coil pack bolt out of the manifold. You definitely saved me a trip to the dealership!

Thanks again,
Tom

How did he get it out? I plan on pulling my plugs Sunday and the COP bolt on mine is cross threaded in. I am about half expecting mine to break off when I start to remove it:vomit:. Better yet....what you doing Sunday Tony...LOL.

He tried just about everything. Those little bolts are stout if you jam them in there just right! He went through all possible options and ended up resorting to drilling the damn thing and threading the hole. Yours might be different. If you're going to break the bolt, make sure it's not most of the way in the hole...my recommendation is break it with only about 1/4 inch in the hole!

Actually, ifyou can still get the bolt out, I would suggest just getting the hole rethreaded. That should help eliminate the cross-threading and allow the blot to go in correctly.
