OK I was wrong there was a little rock down there!! Now the problem being I asked my wife to help me out. We got the plug out and ran into a problem getting the wire setted with the little bolt!! She kept telling me it was not going in right I tried she tried and then a big problem hit!! The head sheared off the bolt!! Now I have to figure out how to get the body of the bolt out and get a new one in to fix the problem! What can I do short of taking it to the dealer and having them fix it! I am so mad right now I am seeing red!!

short of asking someone on this board if they live close to me..if they would be willing to come help me and my wife we can give some gas money if need be may even have you stay and i can feed you steak and or beer we will take care of you

 

If you are talking about the coil bolt being stripped, then I would try to drill it out and then use an extractor. If it was my vehicle, I would set the coil down and use a tie-strap or something to hold it down since it is only the coil, but that's just me.
