Battery Cable questions
For my 93 SSE:
The connectors on my positive battery cables are pretty corroded. In fact the bottom one in the stack of 3 (the one in direct contact w/ the positive terminal) actually is missing some of the copper contact and the bolt is rounded as well making it hard to tighten.
Do I need to replace the whole set of positve cables? Are they sold as a set?
Or
Is it possible to just replace the connectors?
Is it an easy job?
Thanks!

I don't know if they sell the whole set of three, but I know even WalMart sells replacement connectors, and battery bolts.
Heck, I can't even picture 3 cables coming off the battery, but I can't remember needing to know that either....

Thanks for the replies. sorry for the delay - work has been crazy this week.
I bet the 3rd cable is for my aftermarket in-trunk CD player - it was there when i bought the car.
So it is possible to just replace the connectors? Does it require a special crimper or other tools?
Thanks!

It is possible to replace connectors if you have the right parts and tools.. I don't know anyone that does. It'* easier and cheaper to buy them from GMPD.
