Default doing a wire tuck

ok i searched this and it was not stated in any of the posts i found

when tucking wires, is it needed that you cut the plugs off or should they fit threw the hole that you have to tuck threw? thank you in advance

You can de-pin the wires/pins from the plugs if you don't need to extend the wires.
Get a precision screw driver set.

as far as i can tell nothign needs to be extended, and i talked to another guy on here that has tucked one and he said that all i need to do is tuck the postives and just reground the grounds, but that confuses me, i guess i would just need a step by step, but i guess depining would be easier than cutting and re wiring

There is no set way to this, you just kinda get in there and do it since every car is kinda different depending on motor and mods.
