- A 10mm socket wrench
- A ratchet
- A flat-head screwdriver
Instructions:
1. Open the hood of your truck.
2. Locate the batteries. They are located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, near the firewall.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable. This is the black cable that is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Use the 10mm socket wrench and ratchet to loosen the bolt that holds the cable in place.
4. Disconnect the positive battery cable. This is the red cable that is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Use the 10mm socket wrench and ratchet to loosen the bolt that holds the cable in place.
5. Remove the hold-down bracket. This is the metal bracket that holds the batteries in place. Use the flat-head screwdriver to pry the bracket up and out of the way.
6. Lift the batteries out of the truck. They are heavy, so be careful.
To reinstall the batteries, simply follow the steps in reverse order. Be sure to connect the positive battery cable first, and then the negative battery cable.
