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.

    Pretty much. The only other car thing I can do is change a tyre and a battery swap was about as easy. Take off the retention bolts, take the cables off the terminals, lift it out, and put the new one in its place with the process reversed. The only thing that gave me trouble is that it reset the car's computer and makes it underestimate fuel economy now.
