I had to do this (subject line) at work today and thought I'd post it for the heck of it (and for the groups.google archive) It was a 2001 model but that shouldn't matter.
It's about a 20 minute job with the RIGHT tools.
- Use 10mm ratcheting box wrench to detach fuse block from fender, then "move" it a little out of the way.
- Use 3/8" drive air-ratchet with 12" extension and both a 13mm swivel socket and 10mm swivel socket to remove the strut tower brace bolts.
- Use the above, with the 13mm, to remove battery hold down bolt and wedge.
- Use 5/16" ratcheting box wrench to remove battery cable terminal bolts from battery.
- Carefully using both hands, tilt inner (closer to engine) edge of battery up at about a 30 to 45 degree angle, then remove battery.
Reverse to install. (never TIGHTen things with an air-ratchet, though ;-) )
