I’ve done the uppers from the top with both a 22mm wrench as well as the proper socket. I want to say I had better luck with the wrench. Once broken free, they can usually spin out by hand…. That said, I did mine once or twice before I covered the connectors.
Good try as your father would tell ya, but, Not a good solution, here is why. The factory connector makes the best possible connection. The connector is designed to drain and dry out in normal conditions. Putting a cover over it will make it slower to drain when wet, harder for it to evaporate the remainder of water, further corroding the connector.
Maybe, I’m under the impression that they are supposed to be sealed as there is a factory seal on the connectors. We tried the silicone and dielectric grease tricks and they eventually fail. The way I see it is if we can prevent water getting in in the first place, we may be good to go. We wheeled this past weekend and so far so good! Also, we aren’t having any corrosion issues. Our issue is with water getting into the connectors and shorting out the heating elements in the sensors. Thank you for the feedback though! If this fix fails in the future, I’ll do an update to this video! ✌️😊
How are you removing the sensors? I am getting ready Change mine out and wonder what the best angle of approach is on these ? Thanks

@@OffRoadAdventures155 thanks for the reply. 😎
@@lonesomecricket7721 anytime! This is a small enough channel that it’s not hard to see new comments.
