Continue stripping off an inch or so at a time until you have stripped off 6-8 inches of black shielding.

Use wire cutters to cut the blue wire and plastic strips with every piece of black shielding that's removed (will make it easier to remove shielding as you go on).

Cut about 3-4'' off of the red sensor wire before stripping. This will allow all wires to be aligned once voltage regulator and additional wires are soldered on (Step 20).

Use wire strippers to strip off about 1/4 inch off of the black and red wires.

The stripped wire should now look like this.
