Getting a factory terminal is likely not worth it.
First make sure the battery cable has enough slack to cut off the terminal, shave back the insulation and use a new terminal. If you don't have enough slack, you'll need to replace the entire cable.
If you have enough, remove the battery to save yourself from accidentally grounding/shorting our the battery.
Remove the negative battery cable, then remove the positive. Remove the battery.
Cut the battery cable where the terminal is. Strip about an inch of insulation. For my 2003 TL, I had to use the truck size terminal from Autozone as the normal one would not fit the 2 battery cables. Truck size = $3.50, car size = $2.99, not a big difference. Make sure the cable is free of corrosion. If there is any of the powder blue dust, clean it all out with a wire brush. Get the battery cable into the new terminal and tighten. Use electrical tape to cover any excess uncovered battery cable. Pop the battery back in, install the positive terminal then the negative terminal.
