Tools used
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. This is using a 10 millimeter wrench. Get it loose enough to be removed. Place that aside.
Now I can work on the positive terminal. There is a cover on this. Normally it flips up and out of the way. This one has broken off over time so I'm just going to place it aside. I'm going to replace this positive battery terminal. I'm going to start by loosening it here from the fusible link. Spray a little bit of rust penetrant on here. This is a live terminal so when you're using your wrench, be very careful to not touch the wrench to any part of the vehicle body because you will short the positive to the ground and you can burn yourself.
I'm going to use a 10 millimeter socket and loosen this up. Take this bolt off of here. I can remove the fusible link from the battery. Place that aside. The second positive battery cable here, I'm going to take that off. Now I can remove this terminal from the positive side of the battery.
This is still live voltage, so again, when you're removing this, do not touch the wrench to the vehicle body because you'll short it to ground. It'll be a little difficult because you can't move it very far. When it's loose, you can wiggle it off.
Here we have our old positive battery terminal and our new one from 1AAuto.com. They are identical. They have the plastic insulator at the bottom. Same 12 millimeter nut to tighten the terminal. Same stud that will accept the 12 millimeter nut that hooks to the fusible link. If your battery terminal on the positive side is worn out or heavily corroded, this will get you going on the road again.
This terminal is in really good shape. We don't have to clean it. If yours is severely corroded and dirty, now would be a good time to clean it. I'm going to go ahead and install it right now. As soon as this goes on here, this is now live with battery voltage. Again, when I'm tightening with a wrench, I don't want to touch the wrench to anything like this because you can short to ground. I'm going to be very careful holding the wrench, isolating it with my hand from the vehicle body. A little tricky to get this on here. Again, you can only move it so far. I got that nice and tight.
Go ahead and reinstall the first cable and the fusible link. Install our nut back on here. Take my 12 millimeter socket again being careful not to touch the body with the wrench and a positive terminal is installed. Put your plastic cover back on.
I'm going to reinstall the negative terminal. With the negative terminal reinstalled, tighten it down with a 10 millimeter ratchet, socket, or you can use a wrench.
