NEED HELP ASAP!! Coil pack screw broke off in Valve Cover
Org Peeps I need your help ASAP!!
so this morning, my car was acting funny...cylinder 4 misfire...sure it was a coil...bought a coil...pulled the old one....put the new one in. First bolt went in fine, second, thread about 3 threads, then the bolt just snapped in half. Now Im stuck at my cousins house. I tried cutting a notch with a dremel and unscrewing it, but the notch I cut, the sides just broke off. Now Ive pulled the front VC off, and still cant figure out how to get this bolt out...any help is appreciated. Thanks

I didn't know Harbor Freight had them too.

I might pick up a set for the heck of it, I had an issue just recently and ended up using an angle grinder.

I broke one of those soft mounting bolts in the hard-to-reach cylinder 5 a few years ago. It broke off flat with the mounting surface so I was able to fully tighten the other mounting bolt. It held snug and ran fine for over 2 years with just 1 mounting bolt.
When I removed the valve covers 2 weeks ago I finally extracted it. The extractors I had were too big so I got a smaller one at True Value to do the job.

this dude is a general mechanic....has been working at dodge for at least 2 decades.
He ended up drilling a hole in it, and used either a square or hex drill bit to extract it. Then he took one of the coil pack screw and hacked it up and made die out of it. Worked perfectly
