The method I mentioned was told to me by our fellow fchat friend...ferrarifixer Phil. It worked like a charm for me. Thanks Phil!

For my TR I had to use a small drill, maybe a 2mm bit, and drill into the anchoring pin. Then threaded a tap into it, and pulled the anchoring pin out. Then the wire loom just pulled out.

Not sure if it's the same type of wire loom on your car or not, but this is my experience.

Anyone have any tips for removing the plastic spark plug wire holders in the valve covers, mine was so brittle it snapped off leaving a plug in the valve cover. I'd prefer not to drill them out and risk damage to the valve cover.

Also I hear reinstalling the new parts can be tricky to install, any tips?


Thanks
