Default COP screw screwed!

I was coming home from school yesterday and i noticed that my truck was shifting a little harder than usual. I made it home and looked under the hood. What i saw made me sick....... The coil on plug screw broke flush on the intake. It looks like there is alot of stuff i have to remove in order to get to the bolt. Anybody had this same problem?

That's certainly not the end of the world. You may be able to weld a nut onto it and thread it out. You could superglue the bolt together and leave it be (after checking your plug), or get creative. The COP should have a good connection with the plug to keep from coming off.
