Absolutely had to do this. Three internal panels.. the floor, the back lip, and the side panel. There's also a foot that needs to be unbolted. The fuse panel needs to be levered away because it also clips in at the side.Aaaha.... I see you have come across the reason for the exxxie battery replacement quotes you will soon receive
The battery is usually one of the easier replacement items, wouldn't you agree? Yes... hmmm, well if you own a ZB V6 you will be sorely disappointed
from what I've been told, the battery wont just lift out of its little compartment you need to remove the 'Rear Compartment Sidewall Panel - Left Side' before you can get enough access to remove the retainers, nuts etc to the finally get the bastard out! Its do-able, just a little more time & effort needed compared to EVERY OTHER NORMAL CAR!!!
this might help visualise the requirements....

Anyway best of luck
Anyway, 9 volts with no load, and 50 amps and 2 volts under load, ending in $430 for a replacement battery.
