Rusted up Sparkplus cap bolt
Hey Everyone!
Fist time poster long time reader, never had an issue I couldn't find a thread for before.
Wife hasn't changed spark plugs in so long.
Got to the last one and the nut that holds the cap in is rusted. When I went to unscrew it, it unscrewed the bolt, not the nut.
Now it will not go back down, or out any further.
I put some WD-40 on it and have a errand to run so I'll let it soak and hopefully there will be a helpful post. Or I can can get it out with the WD-40
I have room to put a wrench on the bolt under the spark plug cap, but the errand I have is to get a shiny new 10mm wrench, since I can not for the life of me find one.

I got it all figured. It's a two stage bolt one hold the air intake manifold, second holds the spark plug plugs.
The cover was leaking and the last spark plug hole was full of oil, so I grabbed a set of gaskets, took it off, and by doing so, the hose (closer to a tube) going from the underneath of the air intake manifold to the place where you put oil in got cracked on both ends. I cannot find a price for this item due to the fact that I don't know what it's called.
Hope someone can help!

Yes it is the PVC Tube. I called the dealership as soon as they opened. Took me a while of explaining what it was.
It is so different on my Hyundai SanteFe.
I probably shouldn't be taking cars apart without a manual. But I just look at it and I can tell how to take it apart....just can't every angle!
I like your quote!
But I say I'm not prejudge, I hate everyone equally.
