Hey guys,
I'm in the process of swapping in my M-Tech Steering Wheel and the first step is to disconnect the battery. As easy as it sounds (just disconnect the negative terminal by removing the 10mm bolt) I have run into a minor set back.
I've unscrewed the 10mm bolt that holds the negative terminal in place and I -should- be able to just simply, take it off. But my problem is that it doesn't. I have posted on another forum and one member has told me to slightly loosen the piece that is attached to the pole. Before I get off work and go home to attempt disconnecting the battery again, I just want to see if you guys know whatsup with my negative terminal. It certainly does look different from other people's battery as I've read over many DIY guides.
Anyways, here are the pics, I have cirlced in green the negative terminal - which you will see has been unscrewed. If you guys have run into the same problem with your E90/E92, please inform me on what I am doing wrong. Do i really need to pry/loosen the piece that is attached to the pole to release the negative terminal or is there some sort of screw that I am not aware of. Thanks in advance.
