No, just lift it up keeping the plastic cover horizontally Added by long time do-it-yourselfer: It's not that easy on a 2004 325i. The front of the cover is only held by the 2 plastic clips (rotate 45 degrees and pull up, they will come out) but the back is anchored between the edge of the gray trunk lining and the top of the bracket the battery sits in. Because it's sandwiched between them (the lining edge holds the cover down and the top of the bracket sticking up holds the cover from below) it's effectively locked in place. With the cover pulled up in front as far as it will go (about 45 degree angle) Use a large flat blade screwdriver to gently pry the lining over the rear edge of the cover. The edge has a high lip and it takes quite a bit to get the lining edge over it. Stick the blade between the lining and the cover edge and pry down to catch the bottom edge of the lining and move it up so that the high back edge of the cover is now in front of the gray lining. Works better to start on one side and work your way across. Once the lining is all the way over the back edge of the cover lip then you can pull up and the cover will come off. Careful it doesn't pop loose and hit you in the face like it did me. Proceed with removing the battery as is described in many other places on the internet.

Where does the battery goes on a lb150t-19 scooter?

The battery is located under the front fairing. There are three screws holding the plastic molding, two above the headlights, and one just between the headlights on the bottom. Remove the plastic molding. This will reveal four more screws (2 on each side). Remove these screws. Remove the four screws around the instrument panel. The instrument panel can now be removed (be careful of the wires attached). The wires attached are long enough to hang the instrument panel on the side to get to the battery.

Where is the battery in a 1999 cirrus?

The battery in the 99 Cirrus is located under the front driver side wheel well. There is a panel towards the front of the wheel that has a couple of screws on it. You take those screws out and remove the plastic panel and you will see the battery located behind it. It is kind of in a tough place to reach but not too difficult to replace if you need to.

How do i change Blower motor on 95 E-350?

The blower motor is attached to the housing using 4 screws with a 8mm head. First, remove the wiring clip, then the rubber vent tube, then the four screws. They are at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. You usually have to remove the plastic fan and use it on the new motor. If the battery is on the passenger side, you will need to remove it first. Good Luck.
