listy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Do the wires simply pull out? Or is there more to it than that? I've looked for a guide, but it seems there is only a refurbish guide, not a replacement guide. I don't want to just pull the wires out if there is a trick to it.

SteveC Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 They don't just pull out, they need to be released. I've done mine and I used a very thin jeweller's screwdriver. There's a decent guide on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Cheers guys. I'd read that thread and ended up using it when I realised it was actually what I needed. I was kind of half asleep when I first looked at it this morning All done now, clips in sparks changed, and she's idling perfectly. Hopefully its solved my dodgy idle and misfire issue. Find out tomorrow when I go for a drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
