2. Loosened screw using very small flat blade that releases the blade connector. Unfortunately only the screw securing the red wire would turn. After realizing it required blade connectors that I did not have I decided to cut the old wire and leave its blade connector in place.
3. Used wire strippers on old wire (replacement wire is already stripped).
4. Placed heat shrink wrap that I had in garage onto new wire.
5. Soldered old and new wires together.
6. Slid heat shrink wrap over the connections and carefully used heat gun to shrink the wrap without melting the adjacent plastic housing (pretty tight real estate but doable if you are careful).
7. Overlapped heat shrink-wrapped with electrical tape.
8. Carefully placed new capacitor in housing, replaced cover and six screws using philllips #2.
I supplied my own heat shrink wrap, solder, and electrical tape.
Log splitter is working like new. I have split hours of wood in freezing and warm weather with no problems. I recommend this capacitor. You can save a lot of time if you remove the faulty capacitor and obtain the correct size blade connectors for the replacement part.
