Very little to it, just make sure you disconnect the negative terminal FIRST, then when the new battery is in, connect the positive first and the negative last. Give it a go, it's very easy!

Have your key fob handy as the alarm may go off as you disconnect and reconnect one of the terminals.

Coating the terminals with grease helps keep away moisture too!
