Newbie question YAY!



Ok, Here it is. Where can i get a writeup of how to change my car battery. Im doubtful that its actually so easy as to just take it out, put new one back in. That true? or what other procedures are in there.
Thanks my brothers with VQ's

There is a plate thing that goes across that holds in in with two very long bolts that extend to the pan that the battery is sitting on. First disconnect the battery terminals. Once that's done, twist off the nuts, with your fingers, on the bolts and pull the plate off. Take the battery out and put the new one in.

From what I hear, you let it sit over night.

Hmm, Try connecting negative wire to the positive wire, it increases your horsepower to another 30hp's

no i am kiding, do not do that, infact do not do anything i say, but yes battery installation is that easy.. but make sure you put the holding thing on it, you dont want your battery falling off when you hit a bump .. that wont be a pretty site
