Brief Description:  Tailcone wire routing (31B-21)

It was very challenging to route the wires up and around. The instruction say to route all the wires through the small snap bushing but the small bushing is about the size of the white wrapped bundle, so there is no way to get the rest of the wires through. So I spent a lot of time trying to pop out the snap bushings and cut a split so I could slip it on and off as needed while I routed the wires. After I got all the wires routed all the way around I was too focused on getting them installed into the connector that I forgot to slip on the heat shrink....big mistake. I considered going without, but I wanted to get it right, so I tried the pin extractor. 8 wires installed in the connector, so 8 wires to be removed. First of all, the extractor tool is very difficult to slide into the connector. After what seemed like hours reaching up over my head while lying in the baggage area I was able to get 5 out of 8 removed, before the tool broke. I had to head to our local computer store to get another one. Finally I was able to get them all out and install the heat shrink. I didn't see the clam shell with the parts, so I may need to order that separately.
