hey guys
So I want to remove my battery and can't remove the negative terminal nut with a ratchet, pliers won't fit and my wrenches are too big.

what tool should I use?

thanks

how can you not remove it with a ratchet? all you need is a 10mm socket

did you use a deep socket? thats what I am assuming I guess I need to buy some.

and why is user discretion advised for lubing the area??

thanks for the input

You can use a 10mm open wrench to loosen the battery terminal bolts.
Shouldn't be hard to take them off.
