How to Replace Battery Terminal Connector Car Batt Cable and Terminal Ends Right Way Never Come Off 

A rubber mallet would work.

My 2003 titan has covers but I think my step dad put it on it

Walla? Voila, right?

yea that happened to my son. he had be come down to him..17 miles from home...with gas. I got in his truck and started it right up. needless to say he was pretty pissed off mom got it started on the first try. I told his 19 year old brain that I drove a lot of shitty cars as did almost all the boyfriends i had before his dad came along. I told him, the only way you figure out what is really wrong is by trying stuff. He was still pissed.

Well my terminal is currently not existing so I *think* I need a new one

Imagine driving auto

Jesus whispered in my ear too. He said, "Your wife hates your dog, doesn't like the way you spend more time working than with her, hates everyone in your family, and thinks you're fooling around with your secretary. Keep the sweet dog and gorgeous secretary and dump the wife." I took that advice and am living happily ever after. Thank you, Jesus!

Very helpful thank you for naming the tool! I know it's a pretty bad idea to hammer down on a battery post hahahaha.

I never heard of a terminal spreader

or a flathead screwdriver..

You could break that post internally,ruin plates etc. Hammer not recommended 😂

What was dangerous? Looking to do this

@@Juan-dc6yf don't hammer on a battery terminal/post and the exposed wires at the post, not the biggest deal but you want a fully in closed wire to the terminal.

@petersimon1551 Please elaborate because obviously playing with electricity comes with inherent risks and generally can be dangerous but if you know so much about the subject matter why would u be watching the video? next time you want to discredit someone that’s trying to be helpful to you how about instead of just critiquing the way they’re doing things either frame the statement as constructive criticism instead of just “dangerous “ we’re always a few words away from misinterpreting something said to us or if there is a serious or dangerous practice or mistake being made by all means say something but at least elaborate as to why you say that because this young man did a great job imo! Tapping on a battery post which he addressed isn’t the end of the world or enough to criticize him over

Disconnect both negative and positive terminals before cutting and you'll be fine.

If you really want to make sure there's no electricity in the car after you disconnect both, hold onto the break peddle and the break lights should drain any left over electricity. Alternatively you could touch both positive and negative cables together and the power should go away. Should be fine though

@@stefancogurik166 Thx for the info I've since gotten a brand new car so no need to change any battery terminals at least for now

up to you

Had the same question from what ik doesn’t make a difference it’s all touching same metal still worries me I think I’m going to put it back but if I could get a clearer idea of why not I’d love to know what my knowledge it won’t harm it you still want a good connection but you can’t like draw two different voltages from the same place so they’d be even and it looks like he did it in the video.

How many miles does your accord have ?

@@VQ.Family about 205,000 miles

Me as he was hammering the terminal.... 🙈

I just bought one last year at O'reiley. I think it was about $2 something.

@@LadyVSC13 Thanks. Well mine was just one single dinky replacement terminal (Not pair), so yours probably better one.
