I have bought a replacement battery cable set from Ford to put in at the same time. The original cables are all cracked and corroded.
My first inclination is to say "pay a pro to do it" - but I know that's not in your DNA.
From what I observed LOL it's a beotch ... get the car as high off the ground as you can ... and may I also suggest that you spend the money and get the highest amp version available ... IIRC 130 amps vs. 110.
THis might also be a good time to replace the serpentine of you think it might be in need.
