Universal grounding kit issue.

So i bought an ebay grounding kit like everyone else, however the terminal that they sent me doesnt fit on the battery post, its really not even close.

the kit and terminal are almost identical to this

Does anyone have any idea on how i open the terminal wider? pliers arent working out too well, also no stores carry the terminal either, ive checked.

I bought one without a terminal. You don't really need it.

Go to autozone or any auto parts to find a replacement part.

Loosen the bolt.
Take 2 philips screw drivers, put them inside the hole
cross them in an x, then pull the handles apart. They should spread the clamp. Think of it as opening a pair of scissors.

Um,

You sure you are trying to put it on the right terminal?
