Default Spark plug wire replacement - 1990 944 S2

I just ordered some new spark plug wires and needed some guidance in making sure that I do this job correctly. I am also not sure how I will replace the 5th wire that is going from cap to coil. It has a plastic cover and it’s behind the headlight motor.

anyone has steps/pictures that would help me replace spark plug wires?

thanks

the cover just pops off, there's sort of a pin underneath where the wire passes that you can pop with a screwdriver.

V2 is right, but if I recall, sometimes you need to loosen the power steering reservoir (big hose clamp) and slide it up if the coil is secured up high. The cap can be pushed hard up against the PS reservoir. You can also loosen the hose clamp that holds the coil to get it into position that allows you to free the plastic cap,. But yep, its just a snap on cap!
