Yea, it's gone. I was doing my spark plugs and one from the rear coils fell out and proved unresolvable. Tried moving the car, etc. No dice. What size replacement do I need?
Thanks!

 

should be a 10mm bolt, you can find that at advance auto or autozone.

 

^anything more specific?

 

Not sure on the size off the top of my head, but since you have to go to the store anyways to get the new bolt, why dont you just take one of the remaining 5 coilpack bolts with you so you can match it up?

And yes you can drive the car without the bolt holding the coilpack in. The coilpack's "stem" will grab the end of the sparkplug and hold itself down. I dont recomend it, but I rode like that for a few weeks before I grabbed another bolt. No misfires.

 

I would take one of the 10mm bolts off the air filter box unit and put it onto the coil.

 

the hex size is 10mm, but the thread is M6 x 1, with a length of about 25-30 so you want an M6x1 x 30

 

Your right. My bad. I stand corrected.

 

Got a replacement bolt, it fit fine, many thanks guys!

 

Where can I find just 1 bolt? When I search online, it's for packs of 50 or 100.

Second, always use CourtseyParts.com to at least look for the part you want. http://www.courtesyparts.com/maxima-...1988_1989.html

 

You can buy single bolts, nut, washers, whatever at auto parts stores or most hardware stares.
