That is going to by the most difficult part ! This is a good one Channellock 909

The second problem is going to be removing enough insulation to get back to CLEAN copper ! Worst case, is go back 6" or more, and splice on some new wire (preferably marine wire which will not corrode).

Ring terminals and butt splice come in two styles, insulated and non-insulated. They use slightly different crimpers. The non-insualted should have (marine) heat shrink tubing applied. With heat shrink installed, the chances of corrosion are very small.

If you only need a couple and can not find them, send me your mailing address and I will send them to you.

OP: I would suggest putting your location. Members maybe able to give you a good location where you are to find the parts.

I squirt some de-oxidation compound in the crimp variety. Use the correct crimper!

That's where I got the battery cables. Last choice because it's across town.

Plus suggest cleaning your battery terminals and periodically spraying them with Battery Terminal Protector. Adding shrink tubing can also help.
