How the helkl do you get the distributor boots on the wires, I've covered them in silicone and still can't get them all the way over the wire

 

I ended up having to drill the boots out bigger.

 

Takes time! I used vasoline..........worked ALOT better.

 

Twist as you push. It worked for me.

 

Just get them up as far as you can, and then get a pair of pliers and hold on to the end of the wire and push up on the boot. Careful not to damage the wire though. It worked for me on about 3 of em that I couldnt get up far enough. Getting them back over the wire after you crimp em, was very very easy for me.

 

mine were a bitch too, ended up soaking the boots in hot water to expand then, used silicon...i don't know why in the hell they make them that tight..i know they need to be water tight but they are redicious,,took me over an hour just to get the boots on on my work bench!!

 

The best way hands down was to spray a little wd40 in the boot and on the wire ends slip right on. I had a lot of trouble with them and tried all the other methods as well and nothing worked! Then after searching on here for an hour came across where someone used wd40. Works like a charm.

 

Use silicone spray, twist and shove the wire into the boot, use needle-nose pliers to pull the wire up a bunch, crimp on opti end, spray more silicone spray on, pull boot up to desired position and you're done.

 

I used wd 40 and still had a bitch of a time. I ended up drilling the boots out and still using wd40. I think the boots are 7mm and the wires are 8mm.

 

I just used silicon spray, and worked them on.

 

Silicone spray(not wd40) the crap out of them. Then you can get a nice little hand/forearm workout putting them on. I really did not have that much trouble, but you need a lot more silicone than that little tube they give you.

 

Brake fluid does the best.

 

Well I'm going out to give them another try, I love how I finally have everything done with the header install except plug wires and I'm thinking oh that'll be easy, now look at me

 

I grabbed an old pushrod and shoved that in and let it sit (while I measured and cut the wire)

Then I stretched it some more with the pushrod right before slipping it on the wire with the help of silicone.

But fore the coil wire.. I tried soaking it in hot water... and I found that made it a billion times easier...

Most sexual post ever.
