Hi George! LOL

First, raise the hood 'vertical', then take off the NEGATIVE terminal FIRST, hide it below the top of the battery (so it doesn't make 'casual' contact). Then remove the POSITIVE terminal. Find a way to lift the battery that DOES NOT involve using anything that could 'short' the terminals against each other. Like previously posted, most of our replacements have a handle on them BUT if your replacement does not, utilize the place you bought it from as they (for the most part) have that 'strap' or someone who can do it for you. REMEMBER to take your 'gas/vapor' part off the top right side of old battery to install on the new one. This part is usually found below the battery somewhere, as it pops off and falls below the battery. If it is still on the old battery, it'll pop off. The new battery should have a 'hole' for it to be popped back on (it may be a little 'nipple' plug that comes out so you can put the vent in). This part helps 'vent' the gasses produced naturally in the battery, safely. I do not know if those AGM batteries have those vent holes, as I do not buy them at all so no experience with them and the 'vent' either needed or not). Then you connect your POSITIVE cable FIRST and then the NEGATIVE cable.
