Coil retainer bolt broke off, HELP!
Figures that on the last coil that I attempt to remove, the retainer bolt breaks off. It is the front coil. I tried everything I know of to try to remove it. I guess the upper intake will have to come off? Is that bolt only used to hold the coil down. Would I be able to put it back on the plug and drive to a nearby shop, less than 5 miles? I feel soooooo F'ed right now. Any advice will be appreciated.

I put everything back together and it runs fine. I am taking it to my buddy's shop in the morning. I don't have an extractor kit. The plugs in my 2006 had not been changed since new or previous owner over-tightened them. Either way, it will cost me.

Coil pack is now bolted down. Took it to a retired GM mechanic's house referred to me by my brother-in-law. He drilled out the remainder of the bolt, inserted new threads and it is like new. The hole is maybe 1/2mm-1mm off because it was difficult to get perfectly center for the center-punch. At any rate, it is good now.
