You should never undo the positive first. (unless you've got a positive
earth car)
Undoing the pos first means that if your spanner touches the car body
there
can be a sudden shower of sparks which may cure your constipation, but it
won't do your car or your battery any good at all.
Even if you've got a totally dead battery, or if you're very careful not
to
touch earth, you should always - earth off first, earth on last. This is
good practice, and good practice is *always* good practice.
