| What is the correct way to tighten the cable on the voltage regulator and genarator cable there are two nuts on both ends one goes into the reg and the other goes in the gen if you try to tighten it it twist the cable I dont want to ruin a brand new cable |

There should be no "nut" on the cable ends - there should be a freely rotating threaded sleeve that holds the cable onto the regulator or generator. Technically its called a cannon plug.

| If you get the wrench designed for this part it makes tightening the cable infinitely easier. |

You don't need a special wrench to tighten the plug. If you are not intending to submerge the jeep under water then hand tight works just fine. If it won't turn easily with finger pressure then the threads need cleaning or the ring is bent.
