right, so I was attempting (attempting being the key word) to change my spark plug wires tonight, and there are these plastic things that hold the end of the wire onto the distributar cap. yeah, well I broke them while trying to get them off. so now the ends of the wire fall out of the dist. cap. anybody know where I can get more? and instruct me in how to remove them without breaking them. and tell me what they're called, if you could. thanks

If you mean the plastic that is around the wires. The new ones should come with a new set. If not then the wires are wrong. If it is the prongs on the disributor cap then just get a new cap. The plastic is common between Toyotas because my T100's V6 has them on the 3 drivers side wires. If this sounds wrong then post a pic of what you are working on.
