Default Re: Plugs and Wires install, need help

I just went through this. You have to kinda fold the boot back onto itself exposing the connector. I had to hold the connector back where it's crimped to the wire with needle nose pliers then push the boot back so it goes inside out kinda. Then you can use the needle nose pliers to center the connector in the coil pack and get them to click in. Then you just "unroll" the boot back over. Took a little while to get a procedure going.

edit: you need to take the coil packs off the car. Too hard to get at the plugs and plug boots with them bolted down.
