Anyone got a good suggestion for removing a nut that is stripped? I'm trying to remove my battery from my '96 Nissan Centra and the nut on the possitive terminal is stripped and too hard to get to with pliers or a conventional nut splitter. I think I had a bad angle on the nut and it started to strip. I tried some vise grips, cleaning the terminal, wd40, different socket wrench heads, everything, but no luck. Please help!

Go and buy a battery terminal puller there are cheap. Then you can get the cable off. Most people have these because for your problem and the ability to keep their terminals clean so there is a clean and tight connection... I hope this helps.... Good Luck..

I would first remove the negative battery cable and then use a cut-off wheel (you can get them as attachments for your drill) to slice the bolt off.

if at all possible i would call a tow truck and have someone professionally do it because that happend to my friend and when he touched the bolt it shocked him but it wasnt harmful but another reason is becuase u dont want to make the wrong move and then get shocked

If you can squeeze a Cordless drill in there , Drill out the bolt
