To all:

My truck has been acting up the last few days, so I decided to check the bolths that attached the cables to the batteries to clean them, but then I decided to just buy new ones and not worry if they got clean enough. $5 investment, so not to bad.

However, my surprise is when I go to take the negative one off. Twisted 2 times, and it comes out...and awful small in length. It looks to be that the bolt some how broke and a majority is now inside the battery. (if anyone needs a pic, I can take one tomorrow)

So, my question is this: How can I get the bolt out without damaging the sides inside the battery where the bolt is, so a new one can go in, and without puncturing the battery and having battery acid every where.
