tool # is but it's used w/ some E-32s & E-38 V-12. #5 is the one I had trouble w/because I pulled it out. I'm thinking yours is probably pulled out some but not enough for you to know it is. #5 is not an easy one to do. I couldn't find any way to get the wire out even an extra inch.These #s are from Realoem.com & they are the same for E-32s & e-38 V-12s
part #s & list prices are;
#12121739479 these are the insulators that are covering the wire. They slid off & get lost very easily.(ask me -I lost 4-5 of them)There are 2 halves & they clip together over the plug wire as insulators.$0.17 each
#12121736142 just slides over the boot after you push the wire & the new connector into the boot.$0.60 ea.
#12121710707 the boot $22.60 ea.
#12121705656 the connector -- order a couple of extras. If they get bent or dropped your SOL if you don't have an extra.(ask me how I know)I did have an extra. $1.41 ea
hope this helps. I didn't find anything in the E38.org.
