Step 2: Remove the diagonal brace/bar that crosses over the battery, there is nothing to remove from the bottom of the underhood relay center.
Step 3: Look towards the backside of the underhood relay center and you will see two bolts that secure one end of that bar to the top of the strut tower, remove those bolts.
Step 4: Look towards the front of the engine bay where the other end of that bar is and remove the two bolts that secure it to the radiator core support.
Step 5: Now simply pull that bar towards the front of the engine bay while angling it out towards the center of the bay to enable it to slide out from under the relay center. Now that the bar is out of the way, look at the base of the battery on the backside, adjacent to the windshield washer bottle and notice the black plastic wedge shaped block that secures the battery to the battery tray, remove the 9/16" bolt in the center of the block and lift the battery from the tray.
Installation of the new battery is the exact opposite of the removal steps.
Tip: You will need an magentized tools to preven losing the bolts into the engine and also an extension to your socket wrench to reach into the hard to fit places.
