You hit it right on the head. That's exactly what happened, and I had to pull up on the battery while unscrewing the bolt, and it finally broke free. I wedged a couple of pieces of wood between the new battery and the tub to help secure it. I'm not too worried about it moving around - we're not the off-roading types.
