Thread: Removing the battery

There are plenty of people on here that know NOTHING about cars and ask simple questions.

I was the first to answer you and I told you to go outside and take another look.

You should have went out side looked around the battery to figure out why its not coming out and seen there was a clamp holding it down, then you should have been like "I don't have the right tools I wonder if my crescent wrench will work" and tried it. It would have taken you 5 minutes to determine if it was going to work or not but instead you came on here and *****ed about how people were answering your question that could have been solved with a little bit of ambition. If you would have just done what I stated above you would have gained knowledge and gotten farther in less time because it seems from what you have posted that you are extremely busy and don't have time to do anything but post on here.

Again we are not here to hold your hand.

Edit: I was proof reading what I posted and I wanted to add, if you would have went out side and did what I said and stated "I went outside and seen there is a clamp with a bolt holding the battery down but all I have is a crescent wrench and I couldn't get it off with that" this thread would have went into a totally different direction and who knows maybe someone on here knows a little trick they could have told you.

This makes me all & at the same time. Im reading too many correct answers and little results. As said were not here to hold your hand, but give advice. If you don't take said advice, were not the ones at fault here.

I have literally changed batteries in the dark with a pair of pliers using my phone as the light. Then again I was raised in a garage and can do most tasks with basic tools but that's another story. Point being, its not a hard task to complete. I too have tried the wrong way to charge a battery and it took forever to get it to jump but how long did you spend time arguing and tirelessly look over the net and miscellaneous forums before getting SOMEONE to explain to you how to go about removing the battery? How many hours online searching vs calling a friend, family member, or just using what god gave you to figure it out yourself? Your in college, I know mechanics that are high school dropouts, use your brain and stop the "flaming" before it starts next time

I don't mean to come off as a dick but it does get annoying to see this stuff over and over and over again. Just take everything I say with a grain of salt and maybe actually try it. People are here to help but you do need to have some ambition like I said before.

Once you get your battery in I would recommend getting a simple tool kit from home depot or something because it will help you out a lot.
