    Remove the old one, then install the new one the same way the old one was.

    one end is on the battery, un hook that side first, then the other end is on the starter motor. the ground cable is close to the starter on the trans bell housing bolt. same deal remove, and replace it.

    its likely in a wire loom, take the tape off the ends. the cable should come out the slit in the wire loom. (the plastic covering there.)

    you can just clean that up and re use it, a wire brush goes a long way, clean the cable side, and the battery. pretty sure the parts store sell some kinda spray on cleaner too.

    Yea I did spray some on and it still won't start sometimes. And I replaced everything on my car except the battery terminals. I really want to upgrade the starter wires to 4 gauge also like I have my battery to alternator set up
