I just completed this job last week. I tried wrapping the bullet connectors
up with hair- thin wire and a small amount of electric tape to hold all the
wires in place and pulling it thru but it kept getting caught up and I didn't
want to damage the wiring loom. It takes a few minutes of time but I simply
heated up the bullet connectors with my soldering gun and they easily slide
off, wrapped up the harness and slid it thru and then put a little solder flux
in the bullet connector and on the end of each wire. Push the wire into the
bullet connector so it just protrudes out the hole inn the end of the
connector and touch a bit of solder on it. The good news is that there is a
good length of harness to work with once it is pulled thru the stator tube.
