Subject: Re: Basic but frustrating/weird issue by 95Vert on 2012/8/20 15:15:49 Not having fun here. Oh, and I do have those removal tools, just not at work  I planned to take the wire to task yesterday...of course it started raining, but that didn't deter me. The darned boot would barely come off the plug! (Cold motor) So I squeezed the boot a bit. Its not very long, just a right angle, but the pliers just did not really do a good job as the boot angle gets in the way of the metal piece inside. Anyway, managed it and could not really pull the boot off after putting it back on, yet it rotates and feels loose! Just have real trouble getting it off the plug! So, this morning, almost at work, car starts acting wonky again...park and open the hood, sure enough, the boot is hanging off the side. Definitely Mallory plug wires. They seem to be fused to the end of the wire though so I can't really push the boot down to get at the metal inside. Now what...new plug wire and take the motor apart at the front to get it on the distributor? Is this a tool to close the metal terminal end inside the boot? http://www.samstagsales.com/images/mt0568-20-01x.jpg |
