Hi
It is very ahrd to replace any of the clips on the terminals, but you can use heat shrink tubing and form an insulator on the ends. Remember its heat SHRINK, so make the covers a little longer before you shrink.

How to disconnect plug wires from distributor cap on 95 v6 vienta

The leads terminate in a plastic shroud which is held on to the distributor cap by a barbed clip. This must be carefully levered away from the cap socket by a small amount to get the lead off. The trouble is the plastic becomes brittle with age and heat, and is prone to breaking when you try this. The clip can be seen in this photo (some ignition leads come down at the top instead of the side as here)

Directions on how to change evaportor core on 1994 gmc sierra truck , thank you

the big black plastic box on the right side of the truck under the hood is the place where the evaporator is located. evacuate the a/c system,disconnect the hoses going to the black box,then remove the evap housing(the black box) from the firewall. be careful when separating the box because the plastic is brittle and it cracks and breaks easily. once apart the evaporator can be removed.

Driver side door wont open.solution on opening the door

This is usually caused by a broke plastic retaining clip.the inside handel should have a insert covering a screw pop out the insert and remove the screw. If there is no rod atached to the handel (broke clip) locate the rod in the door (a metal coat hanger works good) pull on the rod towards the front of the door and it should open.Replace the clip or sometimes the handel itself breaks needing replaced.

Hope you get a handel on it!!

How do you disassemble the b70?

Keurig is going to send me a replacement B70 so I decided to open it up to help others.
Before you can remove the rear panel you have to gain access to the top panel. There are two screws under the top panel that hold the back cover in place.
To remove the top panel: Open the k-cup arm all the way. You will see two Phillips screws at the very top of the curve. Unscrew and remove both screws. Pull off the top of the k-cup cover. Now close the arm. You will then see two screws at the rear that hold the top panel in place. Be careful not to break the top panel when removing. Once the top panel is removed, you will see two phillip screws on each side at the top holding the rear panel in place. Removing the two screws will allow you to “unlock” the rear cover by sliding up to remove.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

How to remove the tail lights from a 2003 murano

Here's the step by step procedure from the beginning.
  1. Carefully remove the black one inch wide plastic molding strip that runs along the interior side of the tail light. This can be pried off carefully without breaking the plastic clips that hold it in place.
  2. Using a 10mm socket, remove the two bolts that you see which secure the tail light housing.
  3. The tail light housing is also held in place with three or four plastic clips which can be broken rather easily if you don't do this next step carefully. Begin prying the plastic tail light using a plastic putty knife or screwdriver. The top clip comes out pretty easily and so does the bottom one.
  4. On a cold winter day, the middle clip is the one that can break rather easily so gently rock the tail light or wait for warm weather when the plastic isn't brittle.
  5. Once the tail light "bucket" is removed it's a simple matter to replace the bulbs.
