help me with the back coils!!!!!!

[sparkone]

02 expy, having problems getting them out. I'm using a 7mm socket with a swivel, and an extension. I can't get them out. Help anyone?

Can't help you in real but have a lot of patience.......

You don't always need a swivel and extension to remopve them.
try a short one or no extension.
I know i used no extension for # 7 and 8. just put your hand there and feel where is some space to move, again take your time.

good luck!

Is the 7 mil for taking off the COP bolt? Does it not turn?

 

[sparkone]

It won't turn at all! The ******* that had it before me didn't even put the coil back on right. He just pushed it down, and I guess hoped for the best. The screw is still wher it is supposed to be, and I can get to the one on the drivers side,I lossen it all the way, and it won't come out. Yes I'm using a 7mil socket, and it grabs, but won't come out. That is just that side, the other side,I can't even get to! Any tips would be appreciated!

Yes. Especially on the driver's side. Be very patient and take your time. You'll get them out.

ok, so i got the screw out the back drivers side cop, but when i go to tighten it, it fits down the hole without screwing. any help? also, i was changing the bolt from the front passenger cop, and i broke the bolt, will a bolt extraction bit work?

For the hole on tjhe pass side, I believe there is no space for a nut, there are bolts that tap themselves. But you must have enough material around the hole.

For the broken bolt, try to drill a little hole inside and but in a left tap
(don't no the correct word in english, sorry)
otherwise drill it out and put in a bigger nut.

good luck
