Well I took off the front bolts and the thing would not move back the seat far enough(didnt know about the hinge yet!!). So I finally just took off the rear two bolts.

Found 2 pairs of missing cuff links from 06 . Got the battery out and it did not appear as the same dimensions as the OEM for the one recommended so the B+ worker was like, there is one recommended for the V8s right next to it.

He brought it out and it was almost identical. It was 850 CCA and it was 129?

I put it in with ease and hooked it all back up, taking all 4 bolts off is a pain to reposition the seat squarely and tighten the bolts extremely tight, make sure to push the seat all the way forward and force the hinges back.

Also Batteries plus has a 10% off coupon on their website, so with that and a 100 dollar gift card, i came away paying 19 dollars of my own money and even got a mail in rebate for another 10 dollars on the warranty from inside the store.

I wish I had seen that TReg video before...........I never knew the hinges might be there...my back!!!
