How To Replace Side Terminal Bolts on a Chevy C1500

[@beegee22]

Super valuable! I was looking at how to replace the whole connector assembly and didn't know that the bolt is an insert. Thank you!

Glad this video came in handy 🙏🏽

And by the way, this specific type of rubber cover slips right off of the cable end to expose the terminal connectors and it's very much worth doing. These connectors are "out of sight out of mind" and mine needed a pretty thorough cleaning. It adds all of a few very worthwhile minutes to the job. Thanks again for the video.

@@beegee22 For the life of me i can not simply slip those freaking covers off my Firebird. Is there a trick?

[@beegee22]

@@spotcat44 Have you first pulled out the bolt? You need to pull the bolt out first and then try to get the rubber cover off. Yours might be a bit different.

[@spotcat44]

@@beegee22Thank you for your response. Yes, I did pull out the bolt first. That part was easy.

How simple ! Hardest part will be driving to the store. Thank you for an excellent video.

This was helpful. It is difficult to see how these bolts are removed without any experience - I tried a number of different methods all of which failed - now I see I can do it with just vice grips, and still a bit of work but certainly the way to go. Leave it to GM to design such a ridiculous connector - a good old post/clamp connector is much easier to fix.

Soooo close to helping me….I have a 90 Chevy shorty and the negative is stripped but tight….what do you do with that?

[@fyt00000]

Mine too!

Sorry for the late response but id say just grab it with some vise grips and if the bolt gets damaged just replace it
