it may seem like a dumb question, and to be honest, i did not expect to have trouble with this of all steps in the install, but how do you disconnect the negative (red) terminal of the batterY? i dont see anything that looks like it could come loose, unhook, or be disconnected? i have a 2002 audi a4. thanks

 
there should be a ring shaped clamp on the negative terminal

you can either loosen the screw on the ring clamp or just pull it off

its probably one of the easiest things in the world

im sure you'll fiqure it out

 
Sorry but I have to ask... Are you sure that red= neg. terminal? Im not familiar with Audi's so pardon my ignorance if it is.

 
Question. Is it safe to simply disconnect the positive instead of negative? reason being is my car is funny in how its made. To disconnect the negative I'd have to take my airbox out. turn my wheel to the right. Remove some inner fenderwell panel. unbolt the battery holddown. Slide the battery over. Then and only then can you access the negative battery terminal

Technically electrons do flow from negative to positive. but should it matter? I tend to just pull my power wire fuse when working on my car.

Can you dissconnect the other end of the negative cable more easily?
