Default installing new battery cable in 2000 Grand Prix

My positive cable/terminal was corroded beyond the point of salvaging
so I am going to install a new cable. The battery is a side mount. I'm
getting an OE cable from NAPA and was looking under the hood last night
to see what was involved. It looks like two cables are tied to the
positive terminal. One cable obviously goes to the starter and the
other looked like it headed behind the fuse/relay box.

It would appear the fuse/relay box needs to be removed to do the
install. Anyone done this or have some tips?

Much easier AND cheaper and very effective: Have you looked at some of
the better repair ends? Not the older el-cheapos, but there are available
some really well-made ones. HTH & good luck.
