I broke the washer at the bottom of the nut that goes on top of the coil. There's enough of the bolt to hold the coil in place but I can't fasten it with a nut since the bolt broke. It seems like it would be pretty hard to get to the cap of this bolt in order to replace it.

What I want to know is whether somebody has a way I can fasten the coil down without trying to get to the cap of the bolt, if somebody has taken that bolt off before and how hard it was, or if I can just go without fastening the coil into place.
