How do you remove wiring harness clips from valve cover?
Sorry for such a noob question, but I want to replace the valve cover gaskets on my 2001 XJ8 and the wiring harness is clipped into the valve cover with little plastic cones that snap into a small round metal hole. Is the only way to remove it is to cut off the heads? If so, how does one refasten the harness afterwards? THANKS!

The old brittle plastic still might break in some instances, but these give you the best chance of removing them intact. If they do break, zip ties can be used as a substitute.
