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.

Right! 8mm... You'd think I'd have remembered that, since my last 3 vehicles were GM's, lol

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.
