Question

how to replace ht leads?

Answer 1

The HT leads are the high tension leads that link the spark plugs to the distributor and are very easy to replace. Firstly you need to check manufacturers specifications for ht leads because if wrong leads are put in it could cause all sorts of problems. Purchase the leads then simply change one at a time starting from cylinder 1 and making sure it goes to the correct connection on the distributor cap. One of the leads which we in the automotive trade refer to as the king lead looks slightly different to the rest and connects the centre of the distributor cap to the ignition coil. Failure to put the leads in the right place on the cap will result in the spark occuring in the wrong cylinder at the wrong time as leads are placed on the distributor cap in the firing order of the engine. This will certainly show itself as a loss of compression(engine power)

Answer 2

HT lights, you mean Head Lights I think. Most manufacturers have the same setup for headlights. If you have to get the big oll honkin headlight (1990 and under) that is square and about the size of a 5x7 picture, you have to remove 4 screws from around the headlight and then it just pops out. If you just need to buy the little bulb that is about the size of a lollypop, you have to pop the hood and unscrew the plastic retainer that holds the bulb in place. Check with an auto part store for the proper bulb you need first, and most stores will help install it for you assuimng you have an easy care to replace it on. Good luck.
