Default Battery removal help....please.

I need to replace my dead battery in the morning and its 20 miles from my home, so can someone tell me what size(s) socket I'll need to remove the battery? I want to be sure I take the correct tools w/ me.

I'm replacing it w/ a red top....Is there a specific size I'll need for the
C-6?

Thanks for the help.

Default Socket sizes

I know the battery posts are 10mm. The hold down bolt is probably a 13mm or 15mm. Make sure you also bring a good size extension for your rachet to get to the hold down bolt.

That's right.

Group 34/78 Red Top & it comes with a GM adapter (puck adapter) Auto parts store knows what fits. Battery hold down is 13mm, take a ratchet & 6” or longer extension, just one bolt. 10mm box wrench for the terminals, easy job
