Broken coil because of stubborn bolt

I have had a slight miss in my 01 f150 and it was because I had a bad plug and the COP bolt (7mm) will tighten down but wont come all the way loose. I broke the coil trying to bry the bolt and sleeve to come loose. If anyone has any idead how I can get it to break loose it would be awesome I need to get that 8th cylinder up and running again... the plug/coil was on the drivers side all the way in the back so its even tough to get to


Thanks!

Start by soaking with PB Blaster several applications over time would be best Kroil will also be a good choice,Patience will be needed work it in & out don't be in a hurry & snap it off.

Its been soaked in WD-40 for about hiour 4 diffferent times... I can get the bolt to spin its not like its not going anywhere it just sits and spinds... have used wonder bar to get pressure to maybe help loosen but still sat and spun

Yes its the plastic or so I have been told by a mechanic friend... prying does nothing and I really need to get this fixed! ARG!

might have to grind the head off the bolt.. Did you break the mount off the coil? Dunno how your gonna fix that short of getting a new intake. Maybe you could epoxy the insert. should be interesting the solution for that..

You can do a temporary zip-tie job. Zip tie it until you need intake gaskets or can tackle it another day.
