Don't forget to disconnect battery terminal when working on the starter terminals!

Do not over tighten terminals on the starter or glow plugs! They have to be just tight enough for an electrical connection (to pass juice) so that the nut does not come loose. Over tightening will crack the plastic insulator which means buying new parts.
