Fittin an amp power lead

[andrewrobert87]

I managed to get the power lead through the hromit under the dash and up behind the power steering fluid bottle today but could not, for the life of remove the bolt from the posetive side of the battery! anyone got any quick ideas to do this? other wise i;ll go to a garage to do it for me lol it just wont budge!

From memory I used a 8mm socket and held the other end with a spanner.

Normally, I'd spray WD40 on it and leave it overnight, but as its on the battery I wouldn't know how that would react.

Just take your time. They are flimsy things! Oh, and please make sure you've disconnected the earth lead on the battery before undoing the positive. If you touch the ecu cover with whatever your undoing the positive terminal with, you'll more than likely fry the ecu.

oh thanks for tha advice dude! well i thought you need to take the screw like connector off the posetive, i couldnt seem to reach the other connection on the posetive, if that makes sense! the ground was easy to remove plus it was greased up from my service by the looks of things lol
