Why is nothing easy? Everything I do on this XJ turns into a major job. :gonnablow
So I notice that my battery cables have turned to cr@p. It's like the cover on them started to dissolve or melt. My guess at the cause was engine degreaser was too strong. At least that's my hope. So today I spend a couple of hours degreasing and cleaning, (I have a major oil leak) and then I think hey I'll install some new batter cables.
When I go to unbolt the positive cable from the starter solenoid, without much force at all the plastic just shatters and fall apart. I just put my tools up and came inside. When I calm down tomorrow, do I have to replace the whole starter or just the solenoid? If I can just replace the solenoid, do I have to remove the starter to get to it?
Thanks for advice.
