negative terminal

[jhill112]

how do you get the negative terminal replaced on an emag? is it pressed in? can i use somthing else?

[olinar]

They are indeed pressed in BUT they have ridges that swirl around it to really ground them in place. Ive never tried to remove one so I couldn't tell you how to do it.

I have had one or two that screw in but were probably modified at one point.

so you think i can just use a steel screw?

[dark blade]

its definitely possible. the only thing the grounding point is meant to do is expose the negative of the battery to bare metal. If you have a bare metal screw going into bare metal, it will transfer just the same. Just make sure its not a screw that has been covered with a paint coating for outdoor use

the swirls make sure the anno is cut through and hits the raw al. if you thread a screw hole there after you re-anno you are fine.
