I knew the plastic was in terrible shape on the female plug ends and had ordered several previously, along with a few new connectors, just in case. I was able to work the connectors out of the old plugs, and/or break the old plugs up around the connectors and push them into new sockets, and install new brake wear sensors at the same time. Not a bad job, but I didn't realize the grey grommets around the connectors were separate pieces. Mine were somewhat degraded, but there was enough left to hold the connectors in the plugs, with the help of some electrical tape.


I always do a sweep of the stiffener plate when I've got wheels off. After 7000 miles on the new motor, including several 1000 mile road trips its sadly dirty down there, but I'm happy to say no leaks that I can see. I did find an injector clip just hanging out, which I recall are a pain to install.
