   | My girlfriends 2002 toyota tacoma wasn't starting.  We took the   
   | battery to get tested and it was determined that we need to replace   
   | it.  While looking to replace the battery, she noticed that the   
   | postitive end of the terminal cable was cracked and damaged.  We need   
   | to replace it and neither of us are all that mechanically inclined.   
   | it appears to be simple to replace.  can anyone help us with where to   
   | get the parts and how to install a new positive cable terminal end   
   | piece.   
      
   If the cable is long enough there is a replacement made that just   
   replaces the end connector. You cut off the old one, strip the wire and   
   put it, along with any smaller wire(s), in the groove on the connector.   
   Tighten down the clamping bar provided and you are done. I always have   
   sprayed the connector and wire(s) with WD-40 to prevent corrosion. Here   
   is some info on it:

   and here is examples from J.C. Whitney in Chicago:

   place you had the battery checked probably has them in stock.
