Battery is in whell well, whats the best way to replace it?

Answer
Hi Steve,
Put the ignition switch in the off but the steering wheel not locked position, and be sure all accessories are off.
Remove battery negative cable from the remote shock tower location.
Turn steering wheel full left (or better yet, begin the process with it in that position while you have power steering).
Twist the four plastic screws 1/4 turn to release the shield
Remove the shield.
Disconnect battery heater cable (if equipped)
Remove battery negative cable, then battery positive cable
Remove bolt holding battery strap to battery hold down bracket. Remove hold down bracket bolt
Slide battery to the rear and lift over the lip. Use care to not tip battery so as not to spill acid
Remove battery.
Installation is the reverse.
