So I have the harness removed from the front without cutting anything, and that part is in the cabin now. I have the rear section pulled into the engine bay. The only part that is left is to get the rear section through the firewall into the cabin.
I don't want to cut any wires if I don't have to, and I would like to save the grommets. So is there a trick to getting the harness through the firewall safely without cutting metal? Am I supposed to do it as a bundle? Or should I do it wire by wire? Once I get it out, how do I get it into the other car? I am looking at this firewall dilemma and thinking that putting a harness back in is going to be almost impossible to do in one piece. Any tricks or suggestions? |

Sir Andy would be the best one to describe the process he has been through it several times. All I can say is that the larger connector housings that may not go through the smaller holes...come apart. Covers snap off, wire terminals slip out of their housings after the locking tang is depressed. The chassis were built, then the harnesses installed...'removal is the reverse of installation.'
