pull the 3 bolts holding the long bar over top of the battery. take the 1 bolt out holding the fuse box. pull them out of the way then remove ground wire then positive wire then down at the bottom of the battery loosen the bracket that holds the battery in place. 10 13 14 MM sockets 5/16th for the battery or its MM equal a long extension to reach the bolt at the bottom of the battery and a med extension to reach the bolt holding the bar in that is close to the firewall.

The same as above, but you will have to pull the battery out vertically, when removing pull the negative side out first, and when reinstalling put the battery in positive side down, so you will not get hung up on the wiring harness. Thank you for the help! Save my a__!

Whoever decided to make the battery so hard to get to must have been a college educated, democrat.
