Remove stock battery cable bolt Empty
PostSubject: Remove stock battery cable bolt   Remove stock battery cable bolt Icon_minitimeThu Jan 08, 2009 11:01 pm

I installed an innovative wiring headlight harness on my 95 rmw. My positive post bolt does not hold by enough threads now that there is a washer fastener beneath it. I bought a longer post, but cannot figure out how to get the old one out of the stock positive terminal. I didn't work at it for very long because it was cold out last night. I am thinking of cutting it, but then I doubt I will get the new bolt through as they have the same threads.
Any advise?

thanks,
dave

Without looking first........

Should just remove the nut, then punch out the bolt. On RARE occasions I have seen a bolt that is molded to the clamp.

Just take a socket that is a bit bigger than the round part of the bolt and slide over the bolt. place a 2x4 on the core support, and put the cable head and bolt with socket on the 2x4 and give the socket a good whack with a hammer. once the bolt threads are in the hole, you can turn the bolt out with a wrench. Then drill the cable end eye hole slightly larger so the new bolt just slides in.

Thank-you. I got around to doing this yesterday. It was good to know that I could get it out without wrecking the cable end terminal.
For info, the new bolt fit easily without drilling.
The long bolt was too long, so I bought another one that was the same length, but it came with a spacer that fit into the rubber around the terminal for a good fit.
