Be nice and gentle Lol oh well These look a right fiddle to change over Can you still get the grey lead clips from Toyota ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 The coil pack clips aren't too bad to change, first one for me was fiddly as was trying to figure out how it all came apart, the rest got easier as I went along, last clip was changed in no time at all. Make sure that the wires don't get swapped around when you're changing the clips over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thank you mate, they do look a right fiddle lol Who did you get the repair kits from ?

Andrew K Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I got mine bead blasted then coated them straight after with clear lacquer.

mellonman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I was changing the plugs the wrong way on my car for 10 years , I realised when tracing a misfire the best way is to unscrew the coil pack from the plate and leave it plugged in and take the plug out through the coil pack opening, this saves you struggling with the breather pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) The clips are actually pretty easy to swap out for new one. All you need is a watchmakers little flat head screwdriver or a micro sim tool. As for the clips there are plenty of options, I got my set off eBay with the wires. Cheap from China if you can wait a week or so. Just removed the pigtails and plugged in the old wires, removing one at a time from the old clip and fitting into the new clip as they came out that way ensuring that the wires couldn't be fitted the wrong way around. PS - The number 7 loom clips are still available. I bought quite a few as the ones holding the coil loom had gone brittle and broke when opening up. They are also used around the engine bay so I bought a few spare to change those over sometime for new. I recall that they cost Toyota prices and had to come in from Japan so took a lot of weeks to get them. Do watch out that you don't have lumps of plastic from the failed clip in the spark plug recess. If you do you won't be able to get to them until the old plug is removed and then you run the risk of the bits dropping through the hole. You'll probably know if something is amiss if you cannot get the plug socket to seat fully down onto the plug. I had to dab grease onto the end of a long screwdriver tip to pick out the bits out of the recess while at the same time pushing them away from the plug hole. All a little stressful but it did the job. Edited May 6, 2019 by rider (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
