Default Battery Compartment Questions

How do I remove the battery base? I see 3 large bolts in the center of the box, are there any more ?

Also, I want to remove the battery surround plastic. I see its held at either end. Where else ? I do see at the curve on the bottom of the plastic piece a screw sticking up through a hole in the plastic tab. Was there supposed to be a nut or cap there ?
Thanks

Hi Dave -

The three bolts will remove the tray - just don't drop 'em down in the black hole


Not sure about the surround - once you get the tray out there is a lot of room to look around in there -

best regards -

The surround is only attached at 2 points....one push pin on the cowl tray, and one pin into the fender liner.
