Subject: IF you can get hold of the wire & put the 'silver' collar in Author: joec as JoeC 98 740il & 750il : member since January, 2006 : 1264 posts Posted on: 2008-07-17 21:16:38

tool w/ the wire in one end,it tightens up very easily. You then have to slide the silver connector into the boot where it snaps into the spark plug connector. Then slide the other black ring (which was supposed to be on the wire already because it WON'T slide over the silver connector. i did the best I could to confuse everyone on this one. I secretly hope you don't want to buy a V-12 giving us "V-12 clubbies" a better selection when we decide to upgrade. Email me with any ?s on this one.
