Ignition Coil Connector

I changed my coils over the weekend... simple enough but so little room. I ended up stretching the ignition coil connector to the second coil and the white wire came out.

I'm wondering if I can open the connector and solder the wire back... or do I need to replace the whole set? I'm not in a rush as I won't be driving for a few days. I will have to cut out the other two wires so I can enough room to do the soldering and then connect the wires back... anyone has done this or knows how those connectors are put together?

Thanks!

You should not have had to stretch it. I just changed mine for the first time, tight indeed, but I barely moved them. If it were me I'd let a mechanic handle it from this point. You are likely go to do more damage or have to start removing stuff and soldering doesn't seem like a good idea.

I can give you the plug and connectors from an old harness....I would just pull the 1 wire from the plug...and replace just a section of that wire..easier to do
