Default Hooking Positive Battery Terminal Up Problem


I removed the battery the other day, and I am trying to put the positive terminal back on, but i am having a big problem with the screw that tightens the terminal connection. The screw goes into a 2 pieces block, and every time I start to tighten it, the two blocks come apart, and it nevers tightens the terminal properly.
Can someone tell me the secret of getting back on, and if possible take a closeup picture of the terminal, so that I can see how it all goes together. Maybe I have it wrong.
Is there a PDF technical document out there that show it better?
Thanks,
Sean

If I remember correctly, I screw in a wedge into mine and that's what tightens it up...
