Okay even bigger problem. Screwing the coil pack back on my dumb *** broke the screw off... Any ideas how I can fix this mess?

Get a nice easy out set with left hand drill bits.

Because you want to remove the old bolt. And if the drill bit is cutting towards the left it can help loosen the bolt and it makes it easier for an easy out to work.

Left hand drill bits will be marked and are not all that common. Try sears for a craftsman set. They are great to have around.

I am just using a socket and hand tightening it. So far plugs staying in even with coil not down since it has no way to ATM lol. But there's a ehow on the 04 f150 with torque specs
