Pull the rubber gasket that seals the back of the hood away from the fire wall. Now you can pull the plastic cover towards the front of the car and remove it. You should now be able to see the entire battery. There is one bolt in the front left corner that holds the battery in. Remove it and the clamp and the cables (negative first according to the manual) and the battery should come out. It may take a third hand to help hold cables and hoses out of the way when you go to put the new battery in. Also I had a terrible time finding a battery, and ended up at the dealer. The price wasn't too far off a Napa battery, so if you want to save yourself some time you may want to go to the dealer first.
