Simple, you don't! Remove the passenger's side front tire and there is a little door from which you access the battery. Actually, you do need to remove it. You can't access the terminal posts or the tie-down bracket from the access door. The good news is the process is straightforward, and you don't need to remove the tire. First, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. From here you can remove the six screws holding in the battery access panel. Next, open the hood, unclip the air filter housing and remove the filter. It helps to get the cover up and out of the way by using a spare piece of wire and attaching it to the hood. Now, you're ready to remove the air filter housing. On the right side of the housing (facing the car) you'll notice a fastener with no apparent means of removal. This is a friction grommet, akin to the snaps on a baby's shirt. Grip the housing right above this fastener and give it a firm pull upwards. The housing should pop out over the fastener. The left side is not fastened - there are two "bumpers" that hold it in place on that side. Now you have complete access to the battery and can proceed with the replacement, sliding the battery out through the access door once it's been disconnected. Finally, it's much easier to re-install the battery access door from the top, before re-installing the air filter housing. It's possible, but not easy from down below.
You need to remove the panel from in front of the passenger side front tire to access the battery. You will also have to remove the air filter housing to get at the battery hold down so you can remove the battery. Hope this helped.
the timing window is directly beneath the air filter housing, you must move/remove the air filter housing to see it
The filter is in a filter housing. Remove the plug in the bottom of the housing. The filter housing is then loosened using a specific wrench for that housing type.
first off it is easier to do if you remove the air filter. you then need to remove the passengers side wheel and the plastic trim. the battery has to come out through the wheel well.
Located under the interior air intake filter housing. The housing is under the hood and secured to the passenger side firewall by three flip clamps. The housing is black plastic and about the size of a large textbook. Flip the clamps and remove the entire housing by pulling toward the front of the car and up. The underside of the housing is the filter, so be carefull that you do not damage the filter as you remove the housing. Viola! The battery is now in sight.
Its under the washer fluid reservoir. Have fun with this one! You have to remove the support bar, the washer fluid reservoir, and move the air filter housing to get the battery out. Enjoy!AnswerIts under the washer fluid reservoir. Have fun with this one! You have to remove the support bar, the washer fluid reservoir, and move the air filter housing to get the battery out.

Drain radiator, Remove the big steel shroud, remove hoses...remove oil filter to gain access to thermostat housing, remove housing....you must use an OEM seal, not an aftermarket gasket...might as well change the oil too....
Access the battery on the '99 300M through the passenger side front wheel well. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, remove the cover, remove the air filter and then you can access the battery.
You pry it out.
The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box. If you remove the glove box door you will see a small access door in the HVAC housing.
You need to take out the air filter housing and hose leading to the intake. Below the distributor cap, you should see your starter. Remove the battery terminals from your battery and then remove the starter from it's home. Replace with new starter and reconnect battery terminals. Replace air filter housing and hose, then fire it up. Worked like a dream.
Remove the 2 screws (10mm) on top that hold the air intake housing, Pull the air intake away from the air filter housing. You may need to loosen tubing with flathead screwdriver. It's easier to replace the filter if you remove the filter compartment so remove the screw that holds this piece in place. Pull the air filter housing out gently. You may have to work it out since space is compact. Pop the clips, replace the air filter and reverse to re-install.
