Default coil bolt stuck

alright so the other day truck started to miss. found out it was number 7 cylinder. well i get back to the bolt and it just spins. it doesn't work it's way up. i've tried putting pressure against it to wort it and nothing. the ear on the coil actually ended up breaking off. so now the bolt is just there but i still can't get it out. does anyone have any ideas? only thing i can think is pull the intake and see what i can do with it out.

Sounds to me like you'll have to have it tapped to get it removed. Not easy, sorry to hear!

well i pulled the intake manifold out and found the brass insert was just spinning. pulled it out and super glued it back in. now i'm getting ready to put in new spark plugs. waiting for my dad to come home with brake clean to clean off the gasket area then it's all going back on. i will be looking for a used intake manifold soon though
