    Changing coils/plug wires on my rc51

    How does the spark boot attach to the wire? is it just pressed in or is it crimped?

    Thanks.

    i think they're just pushed in and 'click' like the plug boot onto the plug...

    Many screw in.
    WD40 helps free then and helps on the re-install.
