This is the YouTube I've been looking at, which does make it clear that you need some specific tools for the task: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpxyXboW4Qo

To reiterate from the original thread, while you need specific tools, they are common tools you'd find in any "mechanic's" tool set, or any socket set with metric sockets, and you could spend less than $20. All you need is a 10mm deep socket and a 1/4" ratchet. (Don't bother with the torque wrench).

But if any local auto parts store sells the appropriate battery, one of them will probably install it for free also.
