The battery in my car is fucked and needs to be replaced. How easy is it to change it yourself? I haven't done much stuff on cars but I'm not afraid of DIY stuff.

The battery looks like it is very accessible and that all it takes is to unscrew a few bolts.

      I may be wrong but I believe when you put the new battery in, if you connect the negative first and the positive touches any metal part theres a chance of a short circuit, so you actually want to connect the positive first. The negative should never be on the battery unless the positive is connected. That's always been my reasoning anyway.
