I looked at my battery cables today and realized that they are getting to be in pretty bad shape. The cables are cracked at the battery poles and the leads seem to be "rotten". I was just wondering how in depth it was to replace these cables.

Positive is connected to the solinoid....very simple to replace. The negative is grounded to the block....just follow the wire down and you'll see where it's bolted. Very simple but you'll get dirty on the negative wire.
