I'd buy the new harness since you will probably rip apart the old and end up melting them out... I use a 1/4 10MM deep with a 3/8/1/4 adapter on a 3/8 ratchet... you'll need a magnet to pull them out. Drop new ones in, torque to 14 ft lbs, lube up new harness and pop it in...

On a 6.0 yeah... Definitely get new harnesses.
