Pull it out from the top, the angle is kinda weird. Take the metal brush to the bolts they are probly original and may have some dirt and rust. Cleaning the bolt just makes it go on easier. There is one on the bottom that took me forever to get off

Haha it is if you don't do it in a well ventilated area or wear a mask. Don't be surprised if you get a headache lol.

If I could get the darned battery tray out, this would be so much easier. It seems to be stuck in though.
