Terrible video. You always remove the negative terminal first.

First, thank you for taking the time out to make the video and for posting same. However...

Universal rule: ALWAYS remove the NEGATIVE cable FIRST!

While, technically, nothing bad could happen by removing the positive cable first, if you accidentally short the positive cable in the process a lot of bad things can happen. All it takes is one small slip of the wrench to tap any bare metal and zap!

It is not the end of the world, just common practice for both your physical safety and for the protection of the cars electrics (and we know how fussy these cars can get).

Thanks for quick and fair criticism. I really did mess up order in that video lol

Here is quick YouTube short version and in this one I got the order correct (I think)

I'll work on re-editing the first one when I come back from vacation
