    Bremi ignition wires won't fit on Bosch copper plugs?

    So I was changing out the spark plugs(Bosch w8lcr copper),ignition wires(Bremi) ,caps & rotor(Bosch).

    After putting everything together I tried to plug in ignition wires into spark plugs - but all six of them won't fit onto the spark plugs.

    It looks like the metal hole within the spark plug wire is too small for terminal nut on the spark plug.

    Do I have a faulty ignition wires or am I missing something?

    Did you take the terminal cap off the top of the spark plugs? This will expose the threads underneath. Then your plug wires should fit then.

      The little nut on the end of the spark plug threads off. Do that and your wires will fit.

        Thanks guys. I was super confused by it.

        When I swapped in the m20, it came with some hotwire universal ignition wire - so I never had to screw out that nut on the spark plug.

            Well, since he's running an M20, he should be running the NGK ZGR5A plugs... they still do.

              A set I bought once had caps that didn't come off, but I bought them from NAPA. That was the last time I bought from NAPA.

                That happened to me once too. I broke the plug trying to remove that cap...

                  I had a memory that the Botch ones are starting to become non- removable.

                  But then, I distinctly remember paying the electric bill, and the power just got shut off....

                    I finally got around get those nuts off of spark plugs. There was no problem with getting them out.
