Default 2000 Toyota Camry 6 cyl bad coil connector clips

2000 Camry LE 6 cyl 3000cc with 197,000 miles started misfiring. Replaced front coil and connector clip cracxked and fell apart. Went through hell to find replacement clips. Toyots part 90980-11240. prices range from 9.99 tp 20.99 at toyota dealers. Looking for video how to splice in the new connectors to wiring harness under cover. Anyone have a video link ?

Can you post a photo of the problem?

Is this the plug that connects to the ign coil?

The connector is the item on the left which is plugged into the left side of the coil. It snaps on and has two female receptacles for the pins coming from the coil. The actual plug is about 3/4 in long.

Confused here.

However, if the plastic is cracked but the wiring and connector pins are OK, the pins/wires can typically be removed from the damaged plug one at time then inserted into the new plug. The pins are held in with a spring clip built into the pin..

Thanks

Do you have any videos or |DIY aids on releasing that clip. I am old and vision not great so any help is appreciated. Is there a way I can disconnect the entire section of the harness that feeds the coils I can work under a lamp ?
