With great difficulty.
The hold down is a block at the bottom that holds the lip of the battery, and there is a big long bolt that screws in to hold it down. I'm assuming that bolt broke.
Start by disconnecting the battery, and you may want to remove some of the shrouds around it to give yourself some working room.
Cut off the bolt as close to the hold down block as you can, ideally so it's flush with the surface of the block. Then, drill it out. Replace the bolt with a larger one, or just get a different hold down from your local auto parts store.
You will not believe this... It is right in front of the battery, between the Radiator and the headlight. It has one screw that holds it on. Take the battery out, remove the screw and then pull it our... take the harness off after you get it out.
You first have to remove the black metal bar over the battery which has 3 screws. After you take off the bar then you have to remove the one screw which holds the battery in pace which is by the bottom side of the battery. This will allow you to remove and replace it, very simply. Hope this helps!

First, Let me say that an original Harley service manual is your friend. I have a 2007 Dyna Superglide Custom. Facing the bike from the right (battery) side, remove the one screw on the bottom part of the battery box cover. Remove the negative cable screw. Remove the positive cable screw. Take care not to lose the star washers for each cable connect. Undo the rubber strap holding in the battery. Pull the battery out. Reverse the process to install the new battery.
Use the power switch or if that does not work, use the proper screwdriver , unscrew the screw that holds the battery, and remove the battery for at least 5 minutes, then put it back in.If your dsis under warranty do NOT remove the battery, instead try the power switch, or return it to your place of purchase to see if they can fix it.
The battery is inside the floor pan on the right side. Undo the single screw and then slide out the battery.
AnswerTry to put pressure under the head of the screw as you try to turn it out.
Start by pulling back the trim that holds the rubber boot for the mirrors to the bike. Under the boot you will find a screw that holds the front windshield trim, remove the screw, remove the trim and you will be able to see the mounting screws for the shield.
Remove the screw at the back of the back seat, then the two screws that hold down the front seat and there is your battery. Please remove the negative cable first.
Remove seat, undo rubber strap, remove negative screw first, then positive cable.
To remove the battery on a 2001 Pontiac Grand am 1) move sure you use a memory saver device 2) disconnect the + and - cables on the battery and 3)right underneath the - cable is a screw you need to remove, it holds the battry in place. Do the reverse to install. If you don't save the memory from the BCM/PCM your car will do all kinds of weird stuff on its own. I am experiencing this problem now
