Ignition Coil Bracket Removal
Hi
As many here have done, I snapped off the bolt that holds the ignition coil to its bracket. I searched, and found that people usually suggest drilling/cutting the remnants of the bolt (which is welded in place), and then tapping in a new bolt. I want to do this, but can't get the bracket off. The bracket is held by three bolts, which I removed. However, it is attached to what looks like a pipe at two points (I believe the pipe contains some kind of electrical wires, as it looks like it is coming out of the battery. I can't for the life of me get this pipe off - any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as the car is undriveable right now. thanks |
You talking about the wire harness retainer clip??...it is like a c shaped clamshell....just pop it open and it will come off...

The C-shaped clamshell's on the forward attachment point of the coil bracket, (i.e. near coil 1 of 4, when counting from the front of the car to the back) - I tried prying the tab open with a flathead, but didn't want to force it - I'll try again The same wire harness is attached to the coil bracket near coil 4, and it looks like it is zip-tied in place, i don't see any tabs that I can pop on that one |

Slip the flat head in, pry up, it will come out

I'm having the same issue... over torqued the last bolt.
What did you end up doing? |
those shitty bolts will break 90% of the time.
Drill it out and put a new stainless in, use some dielectric grease when u're done assembly, it prevents rust. cuz yes, stainless steel DOES rust, it's just a bit more rust resisting than regular bolts. |
