Instructions:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Start by identifying the negative terminal, which is usually marked with a minus (-) symbol. Loosen the 10mm nut on the negative terminal using the wrench. Next, remove the nut and then the terminal. Set aside the terminal and nut for reassembly.
2. Disconnect the positive battery terminal. Repeat the process mentioned above for the positive terminal. The positive terminal is usually marked with a plus (+) symbol. Set aside the terminal and nut.
3. Loosen the battery hold-down clamp. Locate the battery hold-down clamp, which is positioned over the battery. Use the 10mm wrench to loosen the bolt or bolts holding the clamp in place. Remove the bolt(s) and the hold-down clamp.
4. Lift out the old battery. Now, carefully lift the old battery straight out of the battery tray. Be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves in case any acid spills.
5. Clean the battery tray. Take this opportunity to clean the battery tray. Use a wire brush to remove any corrosion and debris from the tray.
6. Install the new battery. Place the new battery in the battery tray, ensuring that the positive and negative terminals align with the corresponding posts. Make sure the battery is seated correctly in the tray.
7. Reattach the battery hold-down clamp. Replace the battery hold-down clamp and secure it using the bolt(s) you removed earlier. Tighten the bolts securely.
8. Reconnect the positive and negative battery terminals. First, reconnect the positive battery terminal by placing the positive terminal on the battery post and securing it with the nut you removed earlier. Next, reconnect the negative battery terminal in the same manner. Tighten both nuts firmly.
9. Check for proper battery function. Start your vehicle and check that the battery and electrical components are functioning properly. Turn on the headlights, radio, and other electronics to verify they work as they should.
Warning: Ensure that you do not drop the battery, which can cause injury and leaks. Be careful not to short-circuit the battery terminals, as this can create a dangerous situation.
