Pretty good for a girl
You did better than me
I whimped out after I did the rotor & cap
I broke a vacumn valve
after that
I put it back together
Figured I'd get help w the wires & plugs.

Took me forever to get them off the cap
finally did get them twisting turning w a pliers
Needed a tool
couldn't get enough strength from my fingers in the tight spot
After I figured it out
wires came off cap fine

They have a boot puller for the wires at plugs
thats good when you want to reuse

I just figured I did enough damage& I couldn't see risking more
for me to install wires that would have to come off to change plugs.

Luckily the broken part was cheap easy fix & might have been defective anyway...

Plugs can get tight esp if its a alum head & if they r installed wo anti seize.
Alum head is softer than the plug metal so overtightening or mistreading can be damaging.

No harm ever came from asking for help...
