Hey, I have a 95X. I need to disconnect my battery cables to clean them and install new battery. However, the bolt heads will not budge. Ive tried pliers and still wont turn. Is there a special tool I should be using? I'm trying to learn so I'd rather hear your thought before I screw something up. Thanks in advance.
 






You could try a mini puller if you are careful enough. You will have to replace the the clamps anyways if you have already put a bunch of tools to it. if all else fails just and muscle them off twisting side to side. Most likely the battery terminals won't matter at this point since you are replacing the battery too.
 






Thanks. I just put some elbow grease in and had the clamps replaced. Now I have a new nuts and bolts. Much easier than trying to use the old ones.
