When i was pulling my coil off i was taking off the stud with the bolt...well those wires that connect on with the ring connector started twisting and it tore the ring connecter almost in 1/2

its stll about 2/3's whole but im having a hell of a time finding some ring connectors that BIG.


the car has been running fine for months butttttttt that isn't something i wanna leave like that regardless.

what are all of those ground wires and could i ground them somewhere else?

 

You shouldn't have any trouble finding ring terminals of that size. I would leave the grounds where they are. They won't really reach anywhere else due to the length of the harness.

 

Yep, I did that. Snapped all three wires. I put on new ring terminals 12AWG - the ones with the yellow color insulator.

 

will the insulator stuff melt from under hood temps?

 

I've replaced those ring terminals quite a few times now.
Seems like they galled to the nut and you don't really have much of an option once you start removing the nut.

 

where did everyone find their ring termnials, I hit lowes and some hardware stores but i haven't found a ring connector with a RING big enough to go over the bolt stud.

 

I happened to have them laying around in the shop but I would think you could pick them up at any autoparts store.

I just went to Advanced Auto's website and they show a ton of different gauges and styles...may want to check them out.

 

thanks i'll be hitting them on the way home from work
