I was changing the spark plugs on my G, and i just broke the bolt that goes into the coil-pack over the spark plugs. Completely retarded i know! I mis read the DIY on this site and i thought it said 95FTLB torque not 95INLB torque. which is like 8 or 7 ftlb torque.
So it broke and i unscrewed the remaining bold out of the coild by using needle pliers. THANK GOD. Where can i find this 10MM screw at to replace the one i broke.
THANKS!

hahaha...now I don't feel as bad. I was trying to fix my axle click on Saturday. Took the wheel off and try to get to the axle nut. That damn thing was on way too tight. I was hanging on a 4 feet bar trying to loosen this thing and it wouldn't budge. So I put everything back together and drove to three automotive stores to see if they rent impact wrench. After finding out they don't I went home and give the axle nut another shot. Found out I left my wheel lock on the leg when I put everything back together....now I can't even get the wheel off. Have to go to dealer and get new wheel lock key. Hopefully the key won't be that expensive.
Oh yeah, then I drove to the dealer and got them to use their impact wrench and loosen the axle nut and tighten it back up. Parts department was closed.

For those of you that do this DIY I quote from the TSB for the axel click: "Do not use a power tool (impact wrench) to tighten the center lug nut". It's definitely on there tight. Torque spec for that locknut is 177 lb/ft.
Thanks for all the help a flaming haha. Deff needed. I found the bolt at lowes home improvement store. Cost 93 cents and it was 20mm by I thnk 8mm with a c5 threading.
Got the G back up and running with new spark plugs. Still isn't helping my slow a$$ 0-60 times.
