Thanks for your video which I watched with several others on the subject. Didn't fancy taking out the air box so did it your way. Freezing cold day but managed to get it out on my own with about as much difficulty as you had and have the scars on my hands to prove it! What a lousy piece of design!
Este video realmente me sirvió para cambiar la batería. Sólo un consejo: antes de inclinar la batería para sacarla (3:45), recomiendo pasar una correa, cinturón o algo parecido alrededor de la batería, para cuando se encuentre en esa posición inclinada tirar de la correa hacia afuera y sacar la batería sin meter las manos.
Yea if you take the air box out which pulls out in like 2 min,then you can take the front panel off the battery box. Then it slides right out the front no problem and doesn’t require two grown men fighting to get out a battery. Work smarter not harder. The engineers designed it to slide out the front not come out the top where you have no room because of the cowl.
Yeah no thanks. I wish I would have thought about things like replacing battery and cabin filter before I bought this car. What were the engineers thinking!?
To do this job, 2 screws come off , 2 are loosened. I battery is tilted upwards and pulled out on and angle. Its heavy but simple to do in 10 mins , max.
Didn't want to fiddle with the air box in the winter. Anyway I saw somewhere else that it needs battery adaptation. Look into that too before replacing the battery.
Just done mine like this, another half an inch would make the difference, well done Ford 😮

Glad i was able to help, I didn't want to take airbox out so I went that route instead.
Thank you for the video. The video at 1:05 and 4:30 were most helpful.
Yeah they just don't want us doing it ourselves. Thats why so tight

Buena idea
removel and install helps if you take the air box out

Seriously! The battery should be easily replaceable considering how it tends to fail when temperatures are dangerously low.
Thanks for the vid brother
Glad was able to help
For all that just take the intake out
YOUR METHOD IS WAY MORE PRACTICAL THAN THOSE OF THE PROFESSIONALS!
What about the computer settings?
There other videos shows that. Don't know which year they started doing so.

Good luck Maher
Good luck
positive cable always goes back on first
What a pain. Other videos show taking the air box off. I'd rather try this way.

Thanks for the video! I'm down South so thankfully I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt lol. What a pain in the ass though. Ugh.
Thank you for your comment. Good luck on the battery replacement.
@Newbies Work on Cars halfway thru. I'm so happy I didn't have to pull off everything around it like the other videos. Keep rocking it man.
If you would’ve just took off your gloves 😂
Was too cold for me 😂. Also the battery was frozen and swelled, makes it harder to remove.
HORRIBLE design. They must do that on purpose so you take it in to the shop.
Yup
