    We forcefully remove the screws, its usually not too difficult.
    Don't be tempted to use open end terminals or even the hook shaped ones.

    Each circut breaker load can be daisy chained. The appropriate wire gauge
    must be used.

    We use a larger terminal and crimp both leads into the one ferrule.
