So, I'm pulling my fuse box out, and I want to also pull the battery out of my truck.. It's an 04 1500. I can get the Positive clamp off the post, but the negative appears to be locked on the post. The post appears to have 2 different diameters on it. IS it okay to pry it open with a flat screwdriver? Or is there somethign special that needs to be done? I feel foolish asking this, but this double diameter post has caught me off guard. I can post a photo in a few hours if needed..

 

Post a picture.... I don't wanna give you the wrong advice.

 

if it's like mine. the battery cable clamp, the negative one. tighten down to much. ..

and reduced the post just a small amount..

remove the nut and bolt completely .. and gently pry the clamp wider at where the nut and bolt was at. it should slip right off.. no Force is needed.

 

That's what I was hoping happened... hope it is...

 

Well, After reading some of the last few posts, I determined that the clamp was just overtightened. I got it off with a little patience! Thanks for the help!

 

Time to clean those posts and termnials

 

Replacing the battery with a new one.. this sucker is 10 years old...

 

Yes, and so is mine. 10 and counting. load tested 2 months ago.. Good.
