Hello all, just got done doing 7/8 ignition coils on my LR3, and when i got to cylinder 3 the bolt was stripped. I am kinda at a standstill and dont know what to look for here, does anyone know the size of the bolt? Do i rethread? Any input would be useful here, thanks.

 

I had a broken bolt on my LR3 and very carefully used a Dremel tool with a very small drill bit to drill it out so that it would collapse a bit with an "easy out". If you just have a stripped thread you may get lucky with a tap and die set just running the tap through the existing threads, or you may have to use a helicoil insert to restore functionality. Google those terms and you'll find many videos on YouTube showing various methods. To get the size of the bolt, just undo one of the good ones and measure it using the metric tap and die set. Maybe others on here have the V8 and can offer more advice...
