Battery terminal bolt replacement
Is it possible to replace just the bolts on the battery cables? The
terminal clamps are still in useable condition, but the nuts are *rounded* so that a wrench won't stay on them anymore. Would most auto part stores have the replacment bolts? Thanks, -KM |

Since no one knows what kind of vehicle this is it would be hard to answer
such a question. Some bolts are part of the harness. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

I realize that I could replace both cables to as a solution too, but they are still in useable condition, from what I can tell. -KM |

Any decent auto supply will have replacement square-headed bolts and hex nuts packaged together. |

Replacements were only $1.49 at the parts store. I also got some spray on terminal protectant. The felt washers did not hold up very well. The battery, if you can believe it, is almost 9 years old. The warranty was only for 6 years. -KM |
