have you replaced your battery cable assembly?

Have you replaced your battery cable assembly? How difficult was it? We've had 3 edges and loved them. Our 2010 which we got back from one of our kids has a repair to the battery assembly and the assembly has always had a short of some kind... significant wiggling 'fixes' it but, I bought a new assembly (not cheap) and am going to install it. Have any of you got tips or look out fors for doing this project? I'm installing new shocks/struts and doing the brakes and replacing a 5 year old battery too. 

 

Thanks for any response!

sooooo, nobody has done this... dang.. well, I'll do it this weekend and take pics.... 

I had just finished replacing the alternator, big pain in the butt by the way, and discovered a bad battery terminal. I was in no mood to start removing the obstacles required to replace whole cables so I used a Dorman 926-882 battery terminal and modified it a bit by removing one terminal. I then flattened and trimmed the OEM cable ends. This was around 15K miles ago and I haven’t had any problems. I hope this helps. I attempted to load images however the one failed and I’m not allowed to load another. I’ll try again after this posts.

thank you so much! I'm afraid my cable is just faulty.. I have repaired it 3 times over the past 8 years, but I think it is just 'el rotto' 

 

I did the shocks and struts this weekend and am definitely thinking I'll take it to my favorite garage to have them do it. In scouting it, it looks like a giant PITA. 

 

when there is no youtube, you know it can't be fun!

 

Thanks again
