1- Remove the cables/tubes that are hooked into the battery cover.
2- Remove the soft plastic terminal covers
3- Loosen and remove the positive terminal connection (RED)
4- Loosen and remove the negative/ground terminal connection (BLACK)
5- Loosen the battery retainer bracket, you only need to loosen it enough to unhook the hooks on the bottom
6- Lift the old battery out, lower new battery in.
Reverse the steps to reconnect everything. Take a picture of everything before hand, so you can put everything back like it was (if your memory/reassembly skills are iffy).
During the time the battery is disconnected, the radio, ECU and other electronics may need to be reset. Often, the ability to simply idle is upset after battery changes. If you find that the car is stalling after a battery change, simply start the car and let it run for 20 minutes with no electronics on. Then do the same, but turn on the Headlights, AC etc..., for a few minutes, then off for a few more, then back on for a total of 20 minutes. This helps the ECU re-learn idle settings.
