[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 805805, member: 61303"] If it's that badly rusted, I've found that vice-grips on both the bolt head and the nut will allow you to turn the nut, as long as you're careful to not press against the battery itself. Sometimes the nut will unthread, but usually the bolt snaps. Instead of a powered solution that might cause sparks, try a hacksaw blade or metal file to cut the bolt or the nut. [/QUOTE]
