How do you remove battery on 1997 Saturn sl2?

Answer 1

I just finished replacing the battery! The job requires a 10mm socket and end wrench and an 8mm socket or end wrench. A long extention is also needed. There are two bolts at each end of the hold-down strap and one nut in the middle. The 8mm wrench is used to remove the battery cables. Remove the negative terminal first(black). If your terminals connectors are corroded, a portion of the battery could break-out when you remove the connector. Your Saturn requires a 75-series battery. Luckily Wal-Mart has a replacement that is highly rated by Consumer Reports. The cost is $74.95, with a $9.00 core charge. If you take your old battery to Wal-Mart with you, you'll get a refund for the core on the same trip. The battery must be purchased before getting a core refund.
