Sirs,
I have a 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood and need to replace my old age battery, but I can noit find out how to remove it. After disconnecting the cables, the battery seems to be locked in place, but I don't see how it is done. Can you give this 80 yr old retired minister some suggestions as to how I can get that battery out?
Thanks,
Bill Berry

Look down the long side of the battery closest to the wheel well, there wil be a screw down there 8 or 10 mm head, remove it with a socket and extension, then the lock block will come out, then remove the battery, this holds it in place so it dosent shift around while driving.
