Default Y-Block Spark Plug Wire Grommets

Is it difficult to get the wires through the grommet holes? Seems I've read about difficulties. Any tricks or just slides through easily?

I used wires from Speedway, and grommets from MACS. I peeled the grommets around the wires, they do not slide together. Then assemble the metal parts around the grommets when the wire lengths are correct. They are a bit of a bitch to do, but good parts last a really long time and are worth the effort.

It can be a little bit of a struggle. Suggest you slather 'em up with spray silicone lube to help 'em slip through. A pair of 90* needle nose pliers can be your friend but be careful not to pull on the terminals.
