Battery replacement

Post by bode5997 »

Morning I have a autohomes komet,the start battery has declined to play,so needs changing.I have slid the seat forward rotated it,and the seat base still covers part of the battery,so it won’t lift out.Cant get access to the bolts that hold the base on.So how the hell do I get the battery out?

You will have to slide the seat off the runners. Take the seat out of the van.The swivel base can then be rotated to clear the battery.

Why do people do this? Ask a question and not bother coming back to see if someone has replied.

Been a while now - Rob's probably right - I don't think the original poster is coming back.  Maybe he worked it out by now or found answer somewhere else.
