Default How is it possible?

I'm in the middle of a wire change, I did all the plugs, now I'm doing wires. I did the drivers side fine, now I'm at the passenger side, and how the hell do you route the wires? They go behind the accessory assembly behind the alternator and tuck underneath all this ****! I have moroso blue max 7mm, any advice? Can I reroute them to an easier route? I have long tubes btw.

Also, I can jack the pumpkin cover on the rear to jack the rear of the car up correct? Thanks

Hehe, have fun, gotta take all that **** off

Either that or cut the stockers and re-route the new ones somewhere.

Yeah that looked like the best way to do it, so I loosened up the bracket and it all came into place. I also discovered the my spark plugs and wires on cylinders 5 and 6 were broken . The actual plug was cracked in half and the elbow on the wires was completely broken off. Good thing I decided to do wires today!

There is a little plastic piece that you route the wires through on the passenger's side. It is a few inches from the OPTI. It was a pain in the *** when I did it...

i managed to do the wiring without moving anything. however, it's like trying to do those chinese puzzles... there is a special way to hold the wires, and a special way to bend/twist them to properly get them routed. once you figure out how one goes, the rest come fairly easy. it's just a matter of figuring out the method...
