How Do I Get The Negative Bolt Loose On The Battery?

Changing the battery in 97 Escort-the negative clamp is not like the positive and the bolt is different.It has a square head and a funny looking nut on it. Can not loosen it as there is no room to get the wrench on it.

    Parts stores like Advanced , Autozone or NAPA probably can sell you what is called battery cable end players.

      Use a long socket on a racket. Or a side open end wrench. Or a crow foot wrench. This is a example of a crow foot wrench.  Www.arizonatools.com/detail/AZT801M/

        I have found that I have had to cut the bolt holding the clamp on terminal and replace it.
