spark plug cover bolt

I painted my valve cover a little while ago and when I was putting it back together I accidentally torked one of the spark plug tube bolts that goes through the spark plug cover then holds the spark plug cover on with an acorn nut. But I found the bolt a while ago and then I lost it and can't find it again. Does anyone know where I can get a new bolt? :sadbanana:

I just changed out my spark plugs last night in my 2006 Honda Civic and while i was finishing up i accidentally over torqued (VERY easy to do) the nut that holds the spark plug cover/ engine coil cover down. I've been searching all over trying to find the parts to fix this and I think I've found them.


Honda online store : 2006 civic plug hole coil - plug (1.8l) parts
nut /acorn nut on the bolt for the plug coil cover #4 Honda Part: nut, hex. cap (6mm) Part Number: 90207-RAA-A00 Standard Qty.: 004


Honda online store : 2006 civic spool valve (1.8l) parts
bolt for spark plug coil. #4 Honda Part: bolt, spark plug coil Part Number: 12216-RNA-A00 Standard Qty.: 004



My only concern while fixing this myself will be taking off the old bolt/stud. It looks like it should just unscrew but I'm afraid its rusted on and dont want to do any more damage taking it off. My plan was to just spray it with some wd40/pb blaster to hopefully losen it up making sure to NOT GET ANY close to the plug cover or plug hole at all.
The dealership i ordered the parts from for roughly $5 sent me to the service department where i explained the part to be replaced. They said it would be an hour+ of labor costing $140+. That seems a bit ridiculous to just replace a bolt that should screw on and off. So I was just going to do this myself.

Has anyone else out there had experience doing this or done the same thing? From some google searches it seemed like quite a few people had done it on forums but the forums didnt get much farther than suggesting the part (which i have).
