you loosen the terminals, take the old batt. out, put the new one in, and tighten the terminals. i'd take it to the shop if i were you, tho. sounds like you don't have much experience, no offense.

Take the black plastic cover off of it.
Remove the bolt that goes to the black wire, and pull the black wire away from the battery.
Remove the bolt that goes to the red wire, and pull the red wire away from the battery.
Loosen the nut at the bottom side of the battery holding the clamp down.
Lift the battery out.
Put the new battery in, and reverse these directions.

Changing the battery is easy BUT remember a lot of things such as the radio and security rely on a constant voltage source or need re programming afterwards. If it's done by a garage make certain they reset everything afterwards and at least you have all the security codes somewhere!

Besides removing the two cables (Black and Red), there is a bolt holding a clamp on the bottom of the battery. You reach it with a rachet and socket with an extension.

Take both cables off. Take it to a battery place to get a new one and put the new one in the same way you took the old one out.
