removing driver's side coil pack
 
I have to take off the drivers side coil pack, which I haven't done before. I'm stuck on getting that bracket in the back to clear the stud, if you've done this you know what I mean. I've read all the posts about it, saying the bracket's also bolted to the back of the head with a 15mm bolt, but I can't reach that bolt. I'm wondering if the stud can just be unscrewed from the valve cover, like with a vice grip, or maybe two nuts threaded against each other. Are those studs just screwed in to the valve covers, or welded in, or superglued, or what? I don't want to mash it up unless there's a chance it will come out.

quit being a girl, roll your sleeves up and get that bolt out. its not easy but is it by no means hard.ratcheting wrench works well for this

If you don't draw blood, you're doing something wrong.
