    I only took a cursory glance at where the battery is sitting in this (96 3100) car, but I seem to recall it being jammed under the windshield washer tank?


    Is that all I need to remove to replace the battery?



    Is 800-900 CCA in the right ballpark?

    Neat. Can I leave everything connected and just set the tank aside to swap batteries? It's probably only a handful of bolts holding the tank on.

    I have a 97 and had a 96. On both of them you have to take off the washerfluid tank and the crossbrace.
