Default Can't Get Valve Cover OFF!!!!!!!

OK. Went to Loosen the valve cover bolt and ran into a problem. The bottom left one doesn't want to come off. It wasn't very tight either.

But It just spins. And won't tighten again or Come off.......What do I do now??

Motor H22a4

Top three bolts came off fine and the lower right. Just the left lower bolt just spins.

What to do?????

Try taking a pair of plyers and prying up on the bolt (just a little. Don't pry it out) while you loosen it.

I hope that helps. ...

Is all else fails, use an easy out or drill into the bolt enough to get a broken stud remover in there.

I'd recommend stopping by the dealership and picking up a new stud on the way to putting that VC back on.
