My positive cable will not come off. The nut is rounded, so a wrench won't work. I used a vice grip and still couldn't get it off. I also used a corksrew type device that didn't work either. Any ideas??

Vice-grips are best way. You just have to get it clamped on really tight and make sure your vice-grips have good teeth. Clamp it TIGHT. I got faith in you.
