I wrote that confidently, but one of them broke (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b) <\/strong>


New or newer ones shouldn’t break… probably… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they age, plug cords become extremely hard.
Unless there’s an issue with the cord itself, replacing it won’t produce “any dramatic effects,” <\/strong>I think.

However, by replacing it, going forward
“cord problems become less likely to occur” and “maintenance becomes significantly easier.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This Denso cord’s design that prevents removal. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s basically saying “don’t remove this.”
Unfortunately, when you try to pull it out, it usually breaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I’ll use Kijima cord with reasonable? price and quality?
By the way, I need two of them (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the breakage probability is 50% (our estimate) – it’s surprisingly heavy work.

As shown in the image, it’s fixed with clips on top and “connected left and right.” <\/strong>
If you “cut this connection” <\/strong>and make them independent, the success rate goes up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing is to “heat it up.” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That’s all there is to it, nothing more, nothing less. “Heated” = “flexible” <\/strong>becomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When heated, “it won’t break so easily.” <\/strong> *Though it can still break sometimes.

You need to get it really hot?

Pull the cord while “removing the clips one at a time.” <\/strong>That’s it.
But “No way! Absolutely not! Brute force” <\/strong>mindset is important.

Rushing will almost certainly break it. Be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three of them can be reused, but… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One unfortunately…
When the clip breaks, the cord’s “holding force” <\/strong>is cut in half, so “adhesive fixing” <\/strong>becomes necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s actually a very well-designed structure…
It’s not designed to break easily; it’s just unavoidable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always check the depth and proceed with work numerically. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By confirming numerically, “ambiguity is reduced.” <\/strong>
If you later encounter subtle issues, “the cord is probably in there, right?” <\/strong>

Post-work doubts and uncertainties are unnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert firmly to the mark, lock it, then heat to correct the clip shape.
*The clip is already looking questionable though… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since it won’t be removed anyway, I’ll fix it with “Megmix.” <\/a><\/strong> Epoxy or liquid gasket works too.
I just chose this chemical because it

hardens “super fast” <\/strong>and “won’t come out even if pulled.” <\/strong> I think that’s good.
*The image is before application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporarily fix the coil to the vehicle body, then install the plug cap side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the depth of the plug cap the same way as before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The plug cap side is threaded, so if you “drill a pilot hole” <\/strong>with something like a drill bit, you can screw it in quickly and reliably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to mark the depth clearly with a marker.
“Ambiguity is reduced.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once it’s inserted near the mark, you’re done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon cord is soft, so it’s hard to screw in.
If I forced it all the way to the line, it would put stress on the cord, so I left a few millimeters.

*Proceeding without putting stress on parts is also very important. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to route plug cords “slightly longer with a relaxed layout.” <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug cap\/coil removal becomes easier and work efficiency improves.

Even if the plug cap threading loosens, you can cut and re-thread it.
In other words, work efficiency is good and recovery is easy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And finally, P-TOUCH it for perfection.

The trick to prevent peeling is to make it long and “apply tape over tape.” <\/strong>
For items to distinguish, I intentionally “don’t use black.” <\/strong>
“Pop!” <\/strong>Being able to recognize it at a glance “improves work efficiency” <\/strong>and I think that’s important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say it over and over, but having a P-TOUCH <\/a><\/strong>is seriously useful.
