Removing spark plug wires!
Finally, my Delteq kit arrived and I am Installing it!
It seems almost easy but i still have to remove the spark plug wires.
Passenger side does not seem that difficult.
Driver side seems impossible!
I have the water pump, optispark and balancer down because the original problem was the Optispark.
Can you share a trick to remove this wires without cutting them? I want to save them for later.
Thank you!

Finally!
This was really difficult.
I tried everything except removing the PS pump.
That would be the best way because there is a metal tube that connects with the PS Pump and that is was will not let the spark plug wires ends to pass .
I hope I do not have to do this again ever
Thanks for the tips!

I have always just bent a coat hanger and made a hook in one end that would fit over the neck of the plug but was too narrow for the boot to slip thru. Fish it over the plug neck and tug.
When you replace them put some dielectric grease on the neck of the plug. It will make subsequent removal a lot easier.

Once the tensioner is pulled you can get at them.I did not remove the whole wheel well assembly just the center piece.It just helps to get access behind the acc bracket.

It also helps to remove the bolts that secure the ASR unit's mounting brackets so that you can move the ASR unit around a bit so that it's not so much in the way all the time.Be well,
