Mortz, I agree, no reason to take wires off. I do think you might of missed one step. While the block is mounted I take a small drill that matched the hole in the grommets and with a hand drill, a couple of turns to break the wire coming through. Makes removal of the tar block much easier. I have also found that it is easier to do if you have a little room to heat the block with a heat gun at the top while the block is still mounted and then push down though the holes with something like you suggested. I use a large paper clip opened up but anything that will fit through the grommet hole will work. Then I remove the block and pull out the tar and caps. Really helps to release the cap wired before heating.
