Just Venting....
 

Whoever designed the process to remove the battery, should be burned at the stake !!!

Seriously, it took me 45 mins to remove and that's without following the complete directions from nissan (They wanted you to remove the wipers etc...)

Not a fun thing to have to do on a 10 degree day i'll tell ya. Plus just to add insult to injury, the plastic retainer snapped that holds to hood release in place. So now I have to hold the cable from under the dash, while popping the handle.

FML !

Thanks for letting me vent !

are you like DE and only have pliers?

Lol what. Pop off battery cover, pull up rubber , pop clips on surrounding frame, unbolt battery and battery tie down, pull out battery. 15 minutes total including resetting windows and radio.

you forgot remove windshield.

Now whoever decided to put the main fuse box where it is should burn. Of course access to my convertible top, heated seats, etc is easy to access... :ugh2:

Remove the hood and you won't need to worry about the hood release.

If you have a manual tyranny, just push start and forget the battery. Or you could Flintstone-drive with a little floor cutting.

Some people see problems, I see solutions.

AAM sees opportunities :tup:

:ugh: <= AAM

I like to take the battery out from beneath, just to add a challange. :p

Kenchan you MUST have a DIY for this...lol.

Was same way on the 350, what PITA to get to a battery.

You also need to remove the muffler bearings when you replace the battery.

diy: add distilled water with tattoo squeeze bottles every other year. plug into battery manager while car is not in use.
