First you have to slide off the computer looking thing in front of the battery, you should then see the metal plate it was attached to - which is also holding down the battery... simply remove it with a wrench and disconect the battery cables (black first) and the battery should slide right out.

Did this last night (12-11-06). Underneath the "gadget" (I don't know what it is actually) there is a bolt that afixes the gadget to a metal bracket. The best way to actually see the head of the bolt is to look between the small crack between the "gadget" and the battery. That bracket holds the side of the battery closest to the front of the car in place as well. This bolt is VERY hard to see/get to. You'll need a wrench 1/2" size. You should reach down the right side of "gadget" to get the wrench in place. The space is really tight, and you may not even be able to see, just have to go by feel. In order to turn the wrench you may need to pull some free-hanging wires/cables towards the driver side headlight. Due to limited space for the handle of the wrench to move, at MOST, you'll only get a quarter turn each time. So it takes a long time. Once the bolt is loose enough (you don't need to completely take the bolt out), the bracket will be loose enough to pull the battery out and put the new one in. The gadget is the fan cooling sensor, and after I struggled as above to remove the battery I read the book at Murrys. The fan cooling sensor can be lifted right up just pry with a flat head screw driver and pull up. Mine was kind of stuck but one good tug and it came right up.

It is a side mount battery. Shut off everything in vehicle. Use a Phillips head to remove the three screws that hold down the battery cover. (Front driver side) Use a wrench to remove bolts on the battery cable. Positive side first. When those are out you will need a socket with a 10" extender arm to remove the bolt that clamps the battery in place. it is on the bottom side of the battery on the inside side. You can reach it from the top with the extender. If I can do it anyone can do it. Sorry I do not remember the size socket and wrench.
To gain access to the battery, remove the front tire on the drivers side. The battery is located behind the wheel liner towards the front of the car.
The easiest way is to raise the left front of the car, place a jack stand under the frame, then remove the left front wheel. In the front of the wheel well, between the front headlight, there is a plastic cover that is held in with plastic push pins and Phillips head screws around the fender. Remove all the pins and screws and remove the panel to expose the battery. The battery may have a heater pad around it. To remove the battery, first remove the negative cable on the connector under the hood and on the left front of the shock absorber housing. Now, go to the battery and loosen the two hold down nuts on top of the center top of the battery holder, then remove the negative cable first. This will cause the negative cable to be free and fall out. Now, remove the positive cable from the battery and your battery should be ready to come out.
The battery is located in front of the left front wheel. You will need to remove the inner fender liner to access.
