Hi, thanks for looking

Im trying to workout how i will remove the wiring from the engine bay so it can be sprayed but really dont want to detach it all. Does anyone have any experience or ideas?

Thanks

To get a good paint job it needs to all be pulled back out mate.

I have seen people unclip it all from the sides of the bay, coil-up, bag it and hang down on the floor, or make coat-hangar wire type hangars to keep the coils off the areas to be painted.

Just needs a little time I guess

Its easy enough to disconnect, just take pictures to ensure you put it back properly.

Thanks guys

I decided to detach it from the fuse box and take it out into the engine bag and then store it. Only issue is one wire that wont go through the bulk head hole!
