I stripped the aluminum when tightening the coil down on my 2012 camery SE (4cyl). Im not sure how to fix this. This is the only working vehicle I have and I need to fix it fast. Its 11pm for me so it will definitely have to wait until tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont have any power tools for drilling a new stud or anything.

Gemini says to get a bolt the same size but 10mm longer and a couple of washers. Will this work? I also dont want to drive the car with the coil loose is the okay just to get to the parts store?

I'm living with mg gf (19F for ~ 1yr) and i honestly don't know if I want to continue the relationship. I find myself in a spot where I am feeling unwanted and just overall unloved. I've had conversations with her about it and I dont know if its going to work out. I want it to but I'm not sure i can anymore. I've been feeling more and more drained lately and the situation isn't getting better.

​

The main reason I'm on the fence about this is because if we break up she wouldn't have anywhere to go. I mean we could stay living tg and just get like a 2 bedroom apartment but i dont think she would want to do that. I feel terrible about it and I dont want to just up and leave her with nowhere to go.

​

Does anyone have advice on this situation? I genuinely dont know what to do about this.
