i cant really by 10000% certain, but it looks like you are going to need to remove the factory terminal, strip the wire back a bit and insert it into the side holes for wire on the new terminal.

That's correct

Yup.

Too bad your new terminal doesn't accept ring terminals.

Yeah I just snipped the old one off the wires(there were three) then put all three into a 0AWG ring terminal and soldered them in. Looks like that new terminal there will only accept three runs of wire. You could try and stick them into the holes on your terminal for now. If you ever need to run any more wire, you will probably want to get a new terminal that will take ring terminals.

those compression fittings are nice, but they have drawbacks as well, as in this case
