1995 FZJ80.
So, I’m in a bit of a pickle. The lousy original factory negative battery terminal on my battery to block cable will no longer tighten...and I can’t seem to loosen the bolt on the block to remove/replace the cable altogether.
Found this thread...
Holy S#!T!! Dealer Negative Battery Cable....
...and agree this isn’t rocket science.
So, any options for just cutting the original terminal off and replacing it without removing the cable from the truck?
I just don’t see how I could use one of those hammer crimp tools with it in the truck.
I have a mil clamp on the positive terminal and would like to do the same on the negative, but at this point I’ll settle for anything secure and reliable.
I’ve not been a pansie with that bolt on the block, but it’s on super tight and I’m afraid of rounding it or damaging a knock sensor or something. Would rather leave it be, as I’m not as proficient as many of you guys with torches and tricks to remove old, stuck bolts.
The original cable seems just fine. I simply want to get a replacement terminal on there that is secure.
Here’s what I’m dealing with...
Thanks guys & gals. All suggestions are welcome. I’m not in a huge rush.
