How do I get to the bolt to unbolt my battery so that I can replace it? It is very hard to get to, I have tried everything.

Hi,

Are you referring to the hold down bolt? If so, you should be able to reach it with an extension on the ratchet. Have you tried that?

Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

Take care,

I need to see a clear picture of the tool that I need to use.

Hi,

I attached a picture of a ratchet with an extension and socket. That is what I believe will be needed to reach the bolt.
