I was about to go to a friends house tonight, get in my car, go to start it...click click click click..."crap". Went over to Schucks and got a new battery. Get home and go to unhook the old one, but because of the corrosion the wrench can't even get a grip. here's a pic:
 Do you guy's think that just using some battery cleaner on it would work? -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

The baking soda and water seemed to work really well. I was able to get the cables off and put the new batter in w/ no problem after using it. Only thing that wound up giving me trouble was the fact that the socket got stuck onto the nut that holds the terminal and had a hard time just to get it off. I had to take the nut with the socket off and use a new one
 But the car starts up right away now
