Cayman battery terminal bolt foobar'd

EDIT: Apparently I'm not the only one. I'll go to home depot and buy a bolt. One guy used a bolt with an allen wrench head.


----------

OK, so my very first attempt to do anything on the Cayman has left it undriveable. . I was just trying to add a battery tender adapter.

Removing the nut (which was completely loose to start) resulted in a lot of resistance. Putting it back on there was even more. But in the spirit of I fucking want this down now goddamit I just kept turning.

Then I heard a pop and the bolt now spins freely inside the terminal clamp.
