Re: Coil wire terminal assembly improvement?

[Mumbles]

Sharpening the point so it is even on both sides helps it to go in straight instead of veering off to one side as they like to do. I do the final squeeze with a pair of pliers. Checking the wire to the terminal with an ohmmeter will confirm contact with the wire core before rolling the end over. Silicone spray helps it slide into the boot.

Removing old boots is easier if they are soaked in hot water for a few minutes. Sometimes a small screwdriver will need to be inserted around the wire to break it free from the boot. This is especially true if the terminal is rusted badly.
