Not a quick task. You need to pull the cowl vent cover off. To do this you also need to pop the wiper arms off. There are small caps over the nut on the wiper arm. Disconnect and pop the arm off the shaft. Then pull the cowl cover up or completely out. Then disconnect your terminals. There is a bolt that holds the battery clamp on near the passenger front side of the battery. Romove that and your battery will come out easily. You can get it out without taking off the cowl cover but I don't suggest it.
