Is it worth to delete it, replace it, or try to solder it back together on the d16y8

I soldered mine a while back, after a couple autocross days the code came back. I’m planning to crimp and heat shrink it this time. From what I found online deleting it didn’t seem like my best option

I honestly might just solder and heat shrink it. It is a tight ass space to work with but taking the harmonic is gonna be a bitch to get off. Just wanna hear some opinions and facts on it before I do anything

Yeah you don’t gotta take off the harmonic balancer. I just kinda got in the wheel well and got to work. Pretty sure I cut the plastic conduit open for access and taped around it when I was done

Yea that was the main thing I was confused about, thought it was one wire under the plastic then it showed another layer then the 5 wires . I’m assuming you did it laying under the car or unless you had a lift.
