When trying to place the battery terminal bolts through the cable, hold the tool in the other hand, lifting the nut under the terminal post...you just run out of hands. So, cut a small length of clear hose (less likely to perish)just big enough to go vertically under the terminal nut so's to hold it in place. I used to araldite the nut in place on the dirt bike battery, but now use this trick on the R1 battery as this one lies on it's back, making it even more difficult to hold the nut in place without this trick.
