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? |
