Hi,

I attached the very vague directions from my manual for replacing it below. See pic 1 below. As mentioned, they are vague, so here is a link that explains in general how to replace one. It should help give you a better visual.

Before you start this job, make certain the battery negative is disconnected.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe
