Is it broken?

Shortly after taking possesion of this truck, The AC Delco battery did fail and corroded the original cable terminal where the wires connect and the actual terminal broke off leaving the wires dangling while the terminal was still bolted to the battery. I have been living on borrowed time for the past two years because I installed a new terminal that has a clamp on the back instead of the wires being molded into terminal. Since I am getting ready to take a short trip, and I recently had a little trouble with corrosion where the wires are clamped to the terminal. I thought I would replace the cable before leaving on the trip.
I plan on doing the job myself and just wondered if there were any tricks, tips, advice or special tools needed that anyone is aware of. I try not to let the dealerships take too much of my money when I can do the job myself unless the work is covered under warranty.
