Let me jump in a bit. Firstly you want everything surgically clean. If there is tarnish or corrosion it must be removed. Take some Barkeepers friend and clean it till shinny. I have done lots of soldering on electronis with rosin core solder but this is what I prefer for heavy duty stuff. The flux used in plumbing. One of the best that you can get is the solder past at home depot. Little white and green container. Oakley if I remember correctly. Put a smidge in the fitting and dip you wire into some also. Crimp the fitting. Then what I use is a bernsomatic tourch. You will also need a roll of plumbing solder. Heat the fitting for a few seconds till the paste smokes a little and stick the plumbing solder on the connection. If hot enough it will suck up that solder like crazy. Kind of a art to do it right the first try but is close to soldering copper pipe. This video is pretty good. Just NEVER use acid. The second video is a commercial grade system. That is sort of what I try to copy. Perfect connections take a little practice. You can practice with little terminals and lite gauge wire till you get a feeling how to do.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
