Make sure you're using the right sized wrench/socket... It's metric, 10 mm if I remember right. Unless they used imperial bolts in the US...

99 percent of GM battery terminals are 8mm or the standard equiv.

Just get a batt that has side and top posts. I have truck running off the side posts, and all power and ground wires for the system on the top posts.
