In my Westy the seat has to be turned so that the back is towards the
windshield.

There is a battery clamp that holds the battery down. You have to
loosen that. Then you need to get the battery out, once you can move
it, there are several possibilities. If the old battery has loops on
the side, you may be able to stick some nylon webbing into the loops
creating a handle. If not, you can try putting the nylon webbing around
the entire battery to create a handle.
