Urgent Help needed… Battery terminal bolt stripped?

AMG KLR · 06-19-2021, 09:12 AM

I think I loosened the bolt too much than what it needed to be. Now the bolt is stuck and won't budge. The square portion rotates when I tighten or loosen and gouges the metal portion of the terminal. Any ideas?

Grab the square end with vice grips, remove the nut. Have a replacement bolt and nut at the ready.

Resolved. Probably ended up jumping the threads. Some PB blaster and it went right back on
