How do you remove the battery tray?
 
I plan on relocating my battery at some point so I figured i'd give it a shot while I have my intake removed. I can't figure out how to remove the battery tray. There is only one bolt that is visible and/or obvious that I've removed and there is something else holding it in on the left hand side.

Anyone have any experiences with this? It's rather frustrating because i feel like this should be an easy task.

Thanks

there is 2 bolts to the left, covered by the big black plastic tube thing.

Lift it up a bit, u will see 2 bolts. use a 10mm head to take it off.

hmm, i remember seeing one of them but it was covered by the J-hook that held the hose in place. It seemed impossible to get to as is.

See this DIY which includes pictures of the left side bolts

Thank you.

No problem. BTW, forgot to mention, it's a good time to check the electrolyte level while you're in there, if your battery is like my stock battery and has removable caps. Add distilled water, if necessary. And be careful to not drop any nuts in. :)
