disconnect the NEG cable from the battery first-- so the electricty cant arc to you!!
then follow the POS cable down to the starter and remove- should be a few clips along the way holding it in place--thats a best guess- havnt changed one on a gen3

Has anyone changed a battery cable? Need to change mine and been looking for some advice. Is this a straight replacement, just removed and install the new one? This old thread its the only one I found regarding this, not much info.

Chap,
is your cable cracked or testing at a too-high ohm resistance level with a multimeter? Years ago, I had a bad battery connection in an Explorer, but just had to spend a couple bucks to change the cable post fitting...

Sorry for not been aware of all your answers. Finally I swap the cable this past weekend. It was like AndrewA mentioned, but damn
disconnect and reconnect the starter connection was a PITA, not difficult but very inaccessible bolt. Tried to remove the battery metal-base, only to realized that there are two bolts under the base out of my reach 
. I was forced to change the + terminal due to a lot of rust that ended up basically breaking the cable. I replaced the terminal for a cheap one that caused me problems starting the car a couple of times. That’s why I decided to change the whole part: only $32, a lot of sweat on a 90°+ temperature + 85% RH. Thanks for your help!
where did you get the cable for $32. I also changed the pos terminal on my cable due to corrosions but I've not had any starting issues since then. When working on my car last night I noticed some corrosion coming back again.
