battery change on 2012 base model
Dead this morning but I do have the tender hooked up and will give it a day or so to see if I can at least start it to take it up to the dealership.
If no start - anything special I need to know about replacing it?
I know to be careful with the conical nuts and to reindex windows, etc.
Also, any trick to loosening and taking out the hold down clamp bolt?
Will do this tomorrow so any advice today is appreciated.
Oh, maybe I'll check some you tube videos as well.
thx in advance

When you go after the clamp hold down bolt, make sure your socket is securely attached to your ratchet extension. Mine wasn't, and I never found it. 
The conical nuts don't have to come off, just loosen them and wiggle the clamps off.
Other than that, it's pretty basic and easy. Just common sense and take your time.
