OMG that's going to corrode so bad it will ruin the battery too! Just get a new connection, it's like $6!

Many’s the time in our younger days I’ve had to do things like this because we could only afford junk cars and had to keep them on the road somehow.

I unscrew it then get some pliers and squeeze the end that goes on the battery a bit, then put it back on

You can’t do that do use up too much oil now in the front and will need an alignment and that drains the blinker fluid😂😂😂😂😂

KurtimusPrime :
loosen the bolt, spread the terminal, push it down further on the terminal. battery terminals are tapered and the cable is not flush to the battery

BigZ :
you didn't use a long enough screw you want to make sure it's gonna hold in place with the battery 😏

Daily$pecial :
That’s going to corrode the battery terminal quickly. Next do it right replaced or buy terminal shims. Or add lead. Flip connector, etc.

you can actually put the 90 degree bend back and they will tighten up.

PVT Guaraches :
The battery posts are made of lead. Lead is a very malleable metal. You can gently tap it with a hammer and it will widen. Just remove the cable first
