Steps
- Remove the old battery
Disconnect the negative terminal with a 10mm wrench and tuck it away, disconnect and remove the positive terminal, remove the tie-down bracket's top 10mm bolt and the 10mm nuts on either end, then lift the battery out.
- Clean the battery and connectors
Scrub any dirt or corrosion off the terminals and cables with a battery terminal brush, being careful not to expose your skin to the corrosion.
- Install the new battery
Lower it into position without touching the terminals, tighten the positive cable onto its terminal, refit the tie-down J-hooks if they came loose, refit the tie-down and its two 10mm nuts, reconnect the bracket's 10mm bolt, then tighten the negative cable followed by a final check of the positive.
