Hey,

I am trying to remove my battery from my Iron and i'm finding it a real pain in the ***. The manual says to remove the -ve jumper from the chassis so i can slide the battery out. Where that nut is located I'm having issues accessing it with a "cheap" swivel socket.

Any tips or tools used? washer size; 7/16? Easier way to access?

Do you know what wire size is used so I can make a longer jumper and replace this short one?

 

All I did on mine was to take the bolt out at the bottom of the battery strap and move it aside, then undo the positive post (10mm) to remove +cable then pull out on the battery and remove negative cable ( 10mm)

 

Did you have enough slack on the negative cable to slide out?

 

Yes, but barely....pull on it

 

Disconnected positive, then negative, and out it goes. Putting it back in is the hard part.

 

First thing I did was pull the main fuse. I then took my time and, as per the manual, removed the negative side first. I removed it from the battery terminal. It was a slow process because there was very little slack, but I did it. I then removed the positive. To put it back I just reversed the procedure. There's not much room to work but I just took it slow.
