Is there a trick to getting my battery out? I disconnected each terminal, but I can't pull it out.

Default There is a hold-down.
On my '97, it's on the passenger side of the battery--all the way at the bottom. It's just a small metal plate that bolts to the battery tray and has a lip that catches on the bottom edge of the battery to hold it.

Thanks, I just found a thread in the archives that details exactly what to do. What a pain.

Default Less of a pain than it would be if your battery was just sitting in there loose...
banging around with each turn and bump in the road...

Default Some of the years need the bottom windshield cover to be removed
first to get the battery out since the cover does sit over the top of the battery too.
