SOT: Need advice badly on plug wire issue

[Jeff Toomasson <area53@validpath.com>]

Hi all - I was trying to change the plug wires on my M5 (a DOHC engine). Plug wires shouldn't be _that_ hard to change, right?

Well - this is a new one to me. Check this out:

Yes - the receptable in the plug wire on the #2 cylinder completely severed while I was trying to remove it! F*CK!

The rubber boot from the wire and the lower half of the receptacle are still mated to the plug and is flush with the plug recess:

Should I:

A) try to tap a hole into the receptacle and get a screw in there? I have a pointed punch that I can reach w/ it (barely)...
B) try to fuse the wire back to the receptacle with some epoxy?

I've already tried using long hemostats, but I can't get enough of a grab...

Any suggestions??   :( 

Thanks, jeff
