How To Crimp 4awg already in a Car

Ok today I noticed that my orignal 4awg crimp on my power connector to my wifes brutus was starting to get loose, even though I used a hefty hammer on the orignal install to crimp it

So how do I now make the crimp more secure, I cant take the wire out of the car to put a new connector on it, Im not spending 200 bucks on a 4awg crimper, so what are my options?

Should I get a inexpensive solder iron and rely on the solder to hold it and handle the power?

Thanks All

I would solder the terminals on, I have 2 4guage power wires running from the front to back and I soldered all of the terminals and have not had any probles mith them.

Cram the wires together, use a torch to heat them up then cram about a foot of solder in there and you'll be set.

You got a part number and a place I can get one?

I thought of that but to 2 closest shops dont crimp or solder connections that big, they do the same as me just pound the hell out of it with a sledgehammer

Im going to home depot to pick up a torch and to radioshack to get some solder, that should take care of the problem

If you've ever seen my posts about using bolt cutters....

What you need is leverage, and bolt cutters will do just that.  If the cutter is old and worn out all the better.  I wouldn't attempt to solder without crimping first because you won't get a good electrical connection.

the klein ones are a "amtkl1006" 17.89 from AM distributors (tax id needed) they will do a pretty good job, like i said they aren't ment specifically for 4 ga, but they do it good with a little bit of effort, then you just solder a bit and it's perfect
