2016 Suburban battery change

(This is only for educational purposes. You assume any and all risk of damage or injury by doing this job yourself.)
Replacing the battery in my 2016 Suburban LT. It is not "hard", but it is more complicated than it ought to be, because you have to remove the engine air filter and coolant reservoir, to allow room to slide the old battery out. I cut it out, but I fuddled with it for more than 5 minutes, seeing if there was a way to move it to just the right angle - in order to pull it out - and there just isn't. At least not if you don't want to break something.
Only basic tools needed. Be mindful I'm 6'4", and my head was constantly in the way of the hood while working.
Good luck!

For anyone watching this video, if you make sure the battery is out of the retaining grooves in the base, you can rotate the battery to get it out without removing the air cleaner and coolant reservoir.

Awesome. That didn’t work for me (there was 5 minutes of knuckle busting adjustments I didn’t film), but I am thrilled that works! The whole time I’m going “really, for a battery?” Thx man!

[@danmyers5931]

I was able to do the same - I rotated it on its side and then I was able to lift and pull it forward and out.

Yup, he’s correct. Just completed mine today. Removed two mounts for coolant tank moved it forward and held with a bungee strap and wiggled battery out😊😊

That's awesome. We no longer have that car, but I will remember that if I’m ever helping a friend.
