You need to remove the ICEBOX and plumbing to the throttle body....
then remove the throttle body... take the terminals off the battery.
Take off the 2 bolts that hold the battery tray in place and carefully move the battery box and battery towards the firewall... tilt the battery towards the drivers side and slide it right out.
replace the battery.
Be SUPER careful when putting the terminals BACK on the new battery, IF you touch the blower unit with the wrench or ratchet while placing the terminals on you will throw sparks and short out the new battery.
if you get stuck my AIM is Acurazine Smitty or you can PM me for my phone number.
