Spark plug change hack.

No effing way but this works. Being a Toyota family, I changed the spark plugs on my son's 15 Yaris.

Due to age and heat, the clips on one the wire connectors on the coil pack broke. Apparently a very common thing.

Although redundant as the fiction alone holds the connector, I found this awesome hack to re-clip the connector back on.

You will thank me for this as I tried it and it works. All it takes is one medium cable tie. BTW, I used NGK Laser Iridiums which what was in it with no anti-seize as the threads are trivalent coated.

Watch the video.
