Begin with unscrewing the nut on there. There should be a post there.

I wouldnt remove anything you dont have to while taking the nut off.

He cannot fit 0 gauge on unless the red piece is removed.. and if you do remove it make sure the wire will not ground off on the alt

what do you mean by that? i think i can just take the red piece off, then just put the 1/0 terminal over the existing cable.

Well if the terminal wont fit on there witht the red piece on, then...Question is, what the hell is the red piece for and can it be removed?

Yes you can but touching the case with the power wire isnt good. The case should be grounded. Grounds and power are seperate.

Which brings me back here. It looks like the safety barrier for just that reason. Allthough you can always modify it yourself with something. Go easy.
