first you need to disconnect the negative cable (black) you need to use a 10mm or 12mm wrench to loosen the nut at the cable post, move away the cable so it does not touch the battery. Next do the same for the positive side (red), move away the cable so it does not touch the battery. in front of the battery on the bottom is a bolt, use either a 12mm, 13mm, or 14mm (which ever fits) socket with a extention to reach the bolt and remove it, remove the metal bracket the bolt was screwed to and the battery can now be removed

***when installing the new battery REMEMBER to reconnect the positive (red) cable first then negative (black) cable as this will prevent a voltage spike from happening
