[W126 Coupe] Ignition Wires

[drakon]

Grrr...after all this talk of ignition wires, I accidentally snapped off =
one
of the little metal things inside the boot while trying to gap my spark
plugs (I don't have a plug boot puller tool thingy).  Cables are pretty =
new,
just put them in a couple months ago, it seems a shame to have to =
replace
them again...  anyone have any ideas?  Can I peel apart the metal sleeve =
and
just crimp that little metal cap thing back on?  Car seems to run okay =
after
I squirted a little bit of that electrical contact grease stuff inside =
and
pressed the boot as far down as I could, but it's a bit loose.
