replacing battery terminals

[mcdonald58]

how hard is it to replace battery terminals? im thinking of doing mine since they are stripped and wont come undone all the way so i can slip ground terminals for my lights. heres a link to the ones im thinking about http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_top-post-battery-terminals-autocraft_6280781-p?searchTerm=battery+terminals#.

if you have other items you want to run off the battery you have places to do so. here are my terminals I bought from Terry

i think ill just go with some of the basic autocraft ones for the truck since i hope to be selling it soon and i dont have that much money.

If you're gonna get rid of the truck in a short time, just grab some cheap terminals from walmart.
If you plan on keeping the truck for a while, grab a set of my terminals.

They'll give you more options for accessories.

Cut the old wires near the old terminals and screw down the new terminals. Simple as pie.

do not use those cheap piece of crap autocrap ones!!! you are just asking to corrosion to get into the wire and cause starting, and other electrical problems. just do yourself a favor and instead of being broken down at 3AM in a blizzard buy a new cable please.... or if your gonna sell it well do whatever not me who deals with the angry buyer when he calls saying its junk
