Anybody?
Someone must know the nut size so I can buy a deep socket to remove the negative battery cable from the engine block. I can't get a wrench in there to find the size I need.
Please?!?!?

Ya, it's 30 with a windchill of 15 out. Crawling on the cement driveway is my last option. Probably at halftime though.

Thanks, Magnethead. I'll give that a shot tomorrow. I should have some ramps that will make the job a whole lot easier. Maybe if I can get underneath, I can use a wrench instead of investing in a deep socket that will only be used once.

looks like you should be able to get a wrench on it...can't really tell where that's at though.
