  • battery install question

    going to put the battery back in my 99 Z28. What size is the "nut" on the battery cable that tightens the cable to the battery? Need to bring the correct size wrench with me.
    When in doubt, Whip it out !

            thanks. car is in my mom's garage and there's no tools there. Wanted to make sure I have the right stuff with me. Just might make it out to Woodward friday if the weather's decent. car's been under the cover since early November and I can't wait to hear it fire up again. thanks again.

              I have a nice insulated ratcheting wrench from Harbor Freight that's specifically for battery terminals. I think one side is 8mm and then the other side is the STD size. Works great.
