WORKING ON THIS HONDA ACCORD AND IT HAS THIS CRUSTY OLD NASTY POSITIVE BATTERY POST CABLE
I WANT TO CHANGE THIS OUT IF YOU GUYS EXPERIENCING YOUR HONDA BE THAT AN ACCORD PILOT RIDGELINE
CIVIC ACURA MDX AND IT'S JUST SHUTTING OFF ON YOU I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN A LOT OF TIMES
THIS IS A LITTLE CORRORIDED OR A LOOSE CONNECTION HERE SO YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS BATTERY CABLE
ON A REGULAR BASIS EVERY 3 MONTHS YOU SHOULD CHECK IT AND MAKE SURE THE CONNECTION IS TIGHT
THIS SHOULD BE A 10MM IT'S ACTUALLY NOT IT'S A DIFFERENT SIZE I'D SAY HALF INCH HERE THIS
ONE SHOULD BE 10MM BUT IF YOU EXPERIENCE THATS IT'S JUST SHUTTING OFF ON YOU FOR NO REASON
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BATTERY TERMINAL SO WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THIS CORROSION IT'S BEST IF YOU
PUT ON GLOVES LIKE THIS ONE HERE THIS IS A CATCH GLOVE THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST GLOVE
I'VE FOUND FOR WORKING ON CARS I LOVE THIS GLOVE IT'S A 9MM ORANGE GLOVE KEEPS YOUR HANDS
NICE AND PROTECTED I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO USE THIS 3 OR 4 TIMES BEFORE IT'S TOTALLY
RIPPED AND SHREDDED THESE ARE GREAT GLOVES SO DON'T GET THIS STUFF ON YOUR SKIN IT CAN
BURN YOU ALSO CLOTHES CLOTHING IF YOU GET THIS ON YOUR CLOTHING IT WILL PUT A HOLE IN
THEM BUT SOMETIMES THIS ORIGINAL CONNECTOR FROM HONDA ACTUALLY GETS DESTROYED AND YOU
NEED TO REPLACE IT I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM HOW MUCH THIS WIRE WOULD COST
AND THEY SAID $54 BUCKS AND I SAID SO WAY SO I WENT TO MY LOCAL O'REILLY AUTO PARTS
AND PICKED THIS UP FOR I THINK $6 BUCKS SUPER START BRASS TERMINAL ONE MODIFICATION I'M
GOING TO DO I'M GONNA PUT A LOCKING WASHER BETWEEN THE NUT AND THE BATTERY POST ITSELF
JUST SO I HAVE A NICE SECURE CONNECTION BUT IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL ONE ON HERE YOU NEED
TO GET THE OLD ONE OFF I'M SAYING THE ORIGINAL ONE FROM HONDA AND IT'S CORRODED OR BROKEN
YOU NEED TO GET IT OFF BUT YOU NEED TO SAVE AS MUCH WIRING AS YOU CAN HERE TO HAVE ENOUGH
WIRING TO GO INTO THE NEW BATTERY TERMINAL THIS ONE IS FROM O'REILLY SUPER START BRASS
TERMINAL 08505 THEY ALSO HAVE A GOLD ONE THAT YOU COULD BUY IT WAS REALLY COOL I'LL PUT
PICTURES OF IT UP RIGHT NOW BUT LET'S GET THIS OLD ONE OFF MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RADIO
CODE TO YOUR RADIO BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS OFF CAUSE YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR RADIO PRESETS
AND IT WILL ALSO ASK YOU TO PUT IN A RADIO CODE IF YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BE CAREFUL
WHEN YOUR WORKING ON THIS IF YOU TOUCH THE WRENCH TO SOMETHING GROUND ON THE CAR IT WILL
SPARK OK SO TO CLEAN ALL THIS UP YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE A THEY SELL BATTERY CLEANERS
BATTERY TERMINAL CLEANERS AT O'REILLY AUTOZONE YOU CAN USE BAKING SODA AND WATER AT A 50/50
MIX TO HELP CLEAN THIS UP BUT I'M JUST GOING TO GET A BRUSH BRUSH THIS OFF AND CLEAN UP
THIS TERMINAL WITH A TERMINAL BRUSH CLEANER COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO SHOW YOU IF YOU GET
A NEW BATTERY ONE THATS NOT OE ORIGINAL YOU KNOW FROM HONDA TOYOTA LEXUS ACURA AND YOUR
BATTERY POST ISNT GETTING TIGHT ENOUGH YOU MIGHT NEED A BATTERY POST SHIM THIS ACTUALLY
WORKS MOSTLY ON I'VE SEEN THIS MOSTLY ON POSITIVE TERMINALS WHERE YOU CAN'T GET THE CLAMP TO
TIGHTEN DOWN ALL THE WAY YOU TIGHTEN YOU TIGHTEN YOU TIGHTEN AND IT JUST WON'T GET TIGHT SO
YOU MIGHT NEED A SHIM LIKE THIS I GOT SOME BATTERY CLEANER HERE AND I HAVE MY BATTERY
POST CLEANER HERE SO SO THIS IS FOR USING ON THE POSTS AND THIS IS USED FOR USING ON
THE INSIDE OF THE BATTERY CABLE LIKE THAT SO LETS GET THIS ONE OFF AND THEN WE'LL GET
ROCKING AND ROLLING THESE CONNECTIONS ARE REALLY REALLY CORRODED OK SO THEN WE GOT THE
PERMATEX BATTERY CLEANER SPRAY SOME OF THAT THERE ALRIGHT AFTER THATS DONE WE'LL PUT ALL
THE WATER WE'LL PUT SOME WATER ON IT AND USE THIS TO CLEAN THIS TERMINAL OFF POURING SOME
WATER ON HERE GETTING ALL THAT NASTINESS OFF DON'T LET THAT STUFF GET ON YOUR SKIN SO NOW
THAT WE HAVE THE BATTERY CLEANED UP LET'S GO AHEAD AND TACKLE THIS BATTERY POST TERMINAL
SO TO GET THIS OLD ONE OFF YOU HAVE THIS BOLT UP HERE PROBABLY HALF INCH AGAIN 11MM WORKS
THESE THINGS WERE NOT EVEN TIGHT JUST REMOVING THE OLD ONE OK THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S
TRASH DO I HAVE ENOUGH WIRE I DO HAVE ENOUGH WIRE I'M GOING TO CUT THIS OFF I'M JUST GOING
TO CUT THIS OFF AND START BRAND NEW WITH FRESH WIRE SO TO DO THIS I HAVE A PAIR OF DYKES
AND A RAZOR BLADE GOING TO USE THE RAZOR BLADE TO CUT THE INSULATION OFF JUST KIND OF REMEMBER
HOW MUCH COPPER WIRE YOU HAD EXPOSED HERE SO WHEN IT COMES TIME TO DO IT AGAIN YOU CAN
KIND OF MATCH IT UP THROW THAT ONE AWAY CUT THIS ONE OFF NOW PEAL BACK THE INSULATION
JUST GO AROUND IN A CIRCLE CUT THE INSULATION YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TOO DEEP AND DON'T CUT
YOUR FINGER OPEN EITHER THIS CABLE IS PRETTY WORN LOOKS LIKE THERES CORROSION THAT FAR
DOWN YEAH SEE THERES CORROSION CAN YOU SEE THAT GREEN STUFF THATS ALL CORROSION IT'S
BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS THIS CABLE HAS BEEN CORRODED FOR A LONG LONE TIME ITS HAS BEEN
HAVING CORROSION HAPPEN FOR A LONG LONG TIME SHOULD BE A NICE COPPER COLOR INSTEAD I'M
GETTING THIS WELL IT'S KIND OF DISCERNING SO IF I GUESS IF YOU WERE IN A PINCH YOU COULD
DO THIS BUT IF YOUR PLANNING ON KEEPING THE CAR OR YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THIS
I WOULD REPLACE THE WIRE SO JUST GO IN A CIRCLE SORRY MY HANDS BLOCKING IT JUST GOING AROUND
THIS WIRE CUTTING THE INSULATION OFF YEP THAT ONES CORRODED TOO FIGURED IT WOULD BE SO FAR
WE'VE CLEANED THIS BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE OFF WHICH IS STILL PRETTY CORRODED SEE ALL
THAT SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THAT AND THIS ONE AS WELL THIS BATTERY IS A LITTLE STINKY SO
THIS BATTERY MIGHT BE ON IT'S LAST LEG BUT IF YOU CAN OR IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY IT WOULD
BE BEST TO REPLACE THIS WHOLE THESE 2 BATTERY CABLES BUT LETS KEEP PROCEEDING AND I'LL SHOW
YOU HOW TO DO THIS SO OPEN THIS UP DO A DRY RUN MAKE SURE IT WILL FIT AND IT WILL NOW
NEXT THING I'M GOING TO DO I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS NUT OFF AND INSTALL A LOCKING WASHER
RIGHT HERE RIGHT IN BETWEEN RIGHT HERE RIGHT WHERE THE KNIFE IS OK GOT THE LOCKING WASHER
ON THERE RIGHT THERE I DO THIS SO THAT IT CAN'T BACK ITSELF OFF IT WILL STAY PUT OK
TAKING THESE LOOSE 11MM AND THEN WE JUST BRING IN THE CABLES AND LOCK THEM DOWN INTO PLACE
OK LETS PUT THAT THERE TRY TO GET ALL REMAINING THREADS IN AND I'LL BRING IN THE SMALLER ONE
OK GOT THEM BOTH INTO PLACE IT WILL BE BEST TO GET A RATCHET AND A 11MM SOCKET TO TIGHTEN
THESE UP OK WHILE I'M HOLDING THESE TWO JUST THE LAST FEW TURNS TO TIGHTEN THESE DOWN OK
THAT'S DOWN THAT'S DONE GIVE THOSE A TUG THOSE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE OK PUSH THIS DOWN AS
FAR AS OU CAN I NEED TO GET A LITTLE HAMMER AND TAP THAT DOWN
THIS WIRE IS LIVE RIGHT NOW AND SO IS THE WRENCH SO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T TOUCH A GROUND
WHILE YOUR DOING THIS THE NEW NUT IS A 13MM LOOKING GOOD THERE SO RIGHT HERE ON THE EDGE
OF YOUR SCREEN GO AHEAD CLEAN UP THIS TERMINAL THAT'S WHAT THIS SIDE IS FOR AND I'LL COME
IN AND TIGHTEN THAT UP 10MM ALRIGHT THAT'S GOOD THAT'S GOOD ALRIGHT GUYS IF YOU HAVE
A REALLY BADLY CORRODED TERMINAL GO AHEAD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OR YOU CAN REPLACE
THE WHOLE BATTERY CABLE LET'S SEE IF THIS ACCORD FIRES UP
FIRED UP[ BEAUTIFULLY OK WHEN I WAS DOING THE HAMMER MAKE SURE YOU DON'T I WAS USING
A LITTLE PENNY HAMMER DON'T USE A BIG HAMMER CAUSE YOU CAN BREAK THE TERMINAL POST ON THE
BATTERY LOOSE SO JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO THAT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT DID
