Thanks everyone; I thought that I should remove negative/ ground first but thanks for reminder. I think my dad had a battery removal strap but no idea what happened to it. Maybe I will go get strap and battery first, sounds easier.

My local FLAPS has a replacement battery so I am going to remove it, take it for the core charge and install the new one.  The only other time I have done this was on my air-cooled pickup, and that was a while ago.
