Yikes!! - Replacing Battery Cable Terminal Gauge

[peterb]

A while back I had a positive terminal wing nut freeze up on a dead battery. I could only remove it by breaking open the rings to the cable ends.

I want to replace the rings. One of them goes to the engine. I have never done with before. Do I simply gcut off or twist off the old connection, and then put on new cable ends? When i do this do I need to do any soldering, crimping or some other method?



Any input so that I don't screw this up would be greatly appreciated.
