I did this on my 77GS750. Forgot where I got the idea, but I used a Dremel tool to cut away the gunk sealing the old wires to the coils. I pushed new wires down into the coils and used some red, high temp, silicone sealant to seal them. Been working very well.

Here are the stock coils with old wires



Here is me using the Dremel to remove whatever seals the wires in the coils



I used a sharp pointed tool to dig the wire out carefully to not damage the posts deep in the center of hole.

Here is the stock coil with new wires pushed into the contacts at the bottom of the holes.



Here is me putting the sealant on the wires/coils



Here is the coils positioned so the sealant can set without getting messed up.



The sealant cured nice and hard. I think this works out pretty well.
