Default Installed H&R's, have 1 problem

I finally put my front springs on this weekend, and when I was cranking down the control arm, my ABS cables popped out of the plastic casing that clips into my caliper. The cables look like speaker wires (you know, the red and white ones with the frayed copper ends?). Im trying to figure out if this can be a DIY fix.

here are some pictures of the plastic piece. Please let me know if anyone has attempted to put the 2 ABS cables into this. If not, ill be at the dealership Tuesday.







Thanks in advance for your help.

as i remember, there is another cover on that plug, you could open it with small flat head screw driver. When it open you will see those cooper socket, insert the wire (you have to figure out with one go to which socket.
Head up to your local auto store and buy a tube off plastic fix filler (i don't know what it sold in the tube, it's like the clay. You'll find it when you get there) apply it to the socket wait for 5 mins put it back and you good to go

Good luck bro!!
