How do you change the spark plug wires on a 1985 goldwing aspencade. They are unscrewed, but I cannot get them past the frame and motor.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not even sure the wires are supposed to be separated from the coils. But if they are, it shouldn't be difficult to get them out once you have the fake tank removed.

Starting with the 1980 GL1100 the wires detach from both ends. The wires themselves are screwed into the plug caps, and on the coils, the wires just stab into the coils onto a nail point and the outer compression nut holds the wire into the coil.
If you push the cap further onto the wire you can get to the compression ring to slide that off first.
There should be metal tangs into the wire end also that need to be swapped over.
Did you get new 7mm plug wire and new NGK sparkplug caps?
I did get the wire off. Slide the compression ring off and pulled it out. Looking for the bulk wire now. May get the original, only 16 dollars. Only need the one. Having a hard time getting getting bulk wire. Tried nappa stores here.
Thanks.
I have a 1984 honda goldwing with a bad plug wire when i asked the bike shop how to change it they told me u cant the hole coil needs to be replaced is this true ?
That's true on the GL1000, but not the GL1100 and GL1200. Dealers don't know, so they say the safest thing.
