I liked your pictures, how did you get the positive terminal off, I don't see a nut. Is it concealed? I'm a little nervous about doing mine as I hear all kinds of stories about aitbags going off, electical setting being lost and the emergency battery disconnect firing.
Jim, it's cake; the pos quick disconnect shields snap off and the bolts
holding both neg & poz terminal are easy. Just take off neg first, and
tape & tuck it so it isn't hitting metal/ground. It's a half hour job, start
to finish, at worst. See my link with pics; also at end of my first post
is another link with arrows to "turtle" bolt location removal. Your wife
or GF could do the swap, ;>)
