You can buy the side post terminal bolts at any autoparts store. Make a run to autozone.

Yea, if the bolt head is stripped, just get the vise grips as tight on the head as possible and you should be able to break it loose. I had to do that a while back on my moms old Caddie.

depending on how bad it is.......... take the positive wire off and cut the negative as close to the terminal as possible and then when its out of the car u can figure something out.........
