Old thread, but after reading about multiple folks following this thread to open, successfully, the trunk. All have mentioned the unnecessary stripping off insulation. You can simply PIERCE the insulation with a conductive metal pin making contact with the conductive interior of the wire, and apply the positive terminal connection to that pin...no need to strip (and retape, after you are done) insulation, and piercing with a pin is far easier than stripping.
