My 2000 GP GT needs a new battery. The original one is leaking from the positive post. I've looked around the net and found I'm not the only one that has the same problem.
So... is there any tricks to installing a battery in this car? I've heard they are a pain to get out.
GM already has enough of my money this month with the tranny rebuild. I can't afford what they want for a battery, let alone the labor charge.

Get the Sears Rangehandler. 1000 Amp - 900 Cold Cranking Amps. Its about $89 on sale and it has a 3 month replacement warranty - 100 month prorated warranty.

If I recall, the easiest way is to take the fuse box loose and then rotate the back end of the battery upward. This still isn't very easy, though.
