Default FLHTCUSE5 Battery Access

May sound like a stupid question but I can't seem to figure out how to get the cover over the battery to release from the front bracket.

Have the two bolts on the rear removed, and all of the stuff on top and around.

So if anyone has a spoon I sure would appreciate it.

Its a tight fit but you got to clear stuff from in front of the battery cover and you have to be able to slide this cover about an inch towards the front of the bike in order to lift it up. A tight fit but it will come up. Once you get it off for the first time, you will see the piece of metal thats holding you up right now.

Thanks, I can see the metal tab. Just can't seem to get the forward movement to clear it. Will try again.
