You are right it may just be a plug. But the plug boots look like they need a gimmick to pull off w/o damaging them. I have a basic plug boot puller 'plier' cheapo but it really does not fit toward bottom for a good grip...

Dist cap: I did a dry run with a 5mm allen wrench but the lower hex nut is in a position where the allen wrench can not rest inside without the handle being avaivalble to torque it counterclockwise. It rest up onto the cap bottom or nothing.
To pull off the plug wires, I made a puller out of a wire coat hanger. I bent it into a U shape, then put a curl in the ends so I could reach end and put the curled ends on the metal tabs/ears and pull the connector off.
