Remove
the earth terminal of BOTH batteries. Yes, that's right both batteries.
Unless you've done a duel battery mod your batteries are connected in
parallel, that means they are not to separate and independent batteries.
In order to isolate power from the truck to make it safe to remove a battery
you do have to remove the earth off both.

Now you can remove the positive
terminal off the battery you wish to remove. It doesn't matter if the
positive terminal makes contact with a metal part of the car as you have
removed the earth off the other battery so there is no electrical circuit. |
|
| Loosen
the nut on the hook bolt at the back of the battery support bracket. Undo
the bolt holding down the front of the battery support bracket and you should
be able to remove the hook bolt from its slot and remove the battery support
bracket. Muscles are then required to remove the battery |

Installation is the exact
opposite. Put the battery back in, install the battery support bracket
ensuring the hook bolt is located back in it's slot. Do up the front battery
support bracket bolt first and tighten the hook bolt nut untill battery
can'ton move in tray. Over tighening the hook bolt nut may cause physical
damage to the battery. Connect the positive terminal to the battery and
then both negative terminals. Finally, if you are installing a new battery
use a screwdriver or similar and engrave the month and yr into the top
of the battery. This way you know exactly when the battery was last changed.
