You can replace them as birk said...The one I replaced was soldered on though so was a bit of a b*tch to remove. we dremeled it off in the end. And replaced with a motor factors battery terminal. ________________________________________ 200+ secret squirrels hiding under the bonnet with 4 wide mouth frogs... |

Major thread Bump.My negative battery terminal has decided to fall to bits.  Can anyone tell me how easy it is to remove it from the wire? How is connected? Would I be better off cutting the wire and then getting a new connection or do I need to replace the whole wire? I had a look on Servicebox to see if the terminal was available separately but it seems you have to buy the whole cable, which at ~£40 plus VAT seems a bit expensive to me.  Any help would be appreciated. |

Get the old one off and get a motor factors terminal which is attached via a clamp.________________________________________ Although it's no longer available new, it's worth trying to get hold of a good example second-hand.

So did you just cut the wire or does it just pull off? |

I took one from a d turbo (i think) in a scrappy'sTwas a tad shorter on the body earth lead though so i just made a new earth point on the bulkhead. Block to battery was fine. ________________________________________ mechanical_repairs wrote: i feel like giving her a good dry bumming session. |
