I used a sharpie razor to make a small X inside and out. I did tape the wire to a long thin screw driver to pull it thru the X's. This was 18 months and 15,000 miles ago. No leaks, or any problems. I also covered the wire in flexible conduit since it ran above and behind the motor along the firewall to the fuse box.
