    • Remember to remove your car key from the ignition and shut off the car before performing this guide.

    • Locate the terminals on the top of the car battery. Next to each terminal is a positive(+) or negative(-) sign, indicating the charge.

    • The positive terminal looks to be in working order, but the negative end has a lot of corrosion buildup. This terminal needs to be replaced.

    • Find the nut located on the side of the terminal.

    • Using an adjustable wrench, rotate the nut counterclockwise to loosen it.

    • Use an appropriately-sized wrench or socket, not channel locks as shown in the photo.

    • You do not need to loosen the nut all the way off the bolt, but just enough to loosen the terminal's grip on the node.

    • Always remember to remove the negative terminal first before the positive terminal. This will prevent shorting to the ground and possibly causing shock or a fire.

    • Carefully use a rag to lift up the terminal off of the battery node.

    • Be cautious when handling battery corrosion, as it can irritate the skin and is harmful if it comes in contact with your eyes.

    • Place the terminal on a rag or towel and make sure it doesn't come in contact with the battery node.

    • Using the wrench, rotate the nut counterclockwise.

    • You do not need to fully loosen the nut off the bolt, but just enough for the terminal to be easily removed from the node.

    • Take the wire plate on top and remove it carefully from the bolt.

    • At this point, it is fine to handle the metal plate with your hands since the terminals are disconnected from the battery and there is nothing completing the circuit.

    • Set aside the old battery terminal, and replace it with the new one.

    • Replace the wire plates in the order they were taken off.

    • Although it is not necessary that the plates be placed in the same order again, it is generally a good idea to go with the order that it came in.

    • Place the flat washer and the screw-on head that came with the battery terminal onto the vertical bolt.

    • Tighten the head clockwise and make sure the wire plates are secured.

    • Not all battery terminal packs come with a washer and screw-on head. If your pack comes with a nut, use the wrench and tighten the bolt clockwise.

    • On the negative terminal, use the wrench to rotate the side nut clockwise to tighten it.

    • Next, perform the same action on the side nut of the positive terminal.

    • To ensure a secure connection, be sure the nut is snug and that the terminal can't come off easily.
