I was working on my front disk swap which I had to have oral surgery due to broken tooth!. Now, I am off of any mild to heavy work for 2 weeks per my oral surgen!. God D.. it hurts!! (pocket and gums!!). Any way, since I can not sit still I thought do some electrical work.This might be very simple for most of you but I have not done this before. I need to tap into some wires without cutting them. Is it just like removing the cover from the original wire then twist the new one along it (solder it preferably) or is there any kind of connection or tool for it?
