The battery is located under the driver's seat. The removal includes...
1. Removing the trim covering the front seat mounting bolts, and then removing the two front seat bolts.
2. You will need a 10MM 12 Point star wrench (male-type) to remove the front seat bolts. The tool cost me $4.50 at NAPA Auto Supply stores.
3. After removing the two screws, move the seat forward and then tip the seat backwards to gain access to the battery case entrance.
5. Lift the carpeting at the lower seat base and remove the carpeted battery cover by pulling outward and then upward on the carpeted battery trim that covers the battery.
6. Disconnect the battery vent hoses and remove the battery hold-down clamp and bolt.
7. Remove the negative battery terminal and then the positive terminal - now remove the battery.
The replacement battery was ordered from O'reilly's Auto Parts - it was the Super Start Extreme #94REXT - with 750 CCA, 20Ah Rate 80.
8. Reverse the removal procedures to install the new battery
9. Keep in mind that batteries produce and explosive hydrogen gas when charging. Do not create a spark when handling tools or when removing terminals or connecting or removing battery charging equipment.
10. That's about it! You're done!
