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
(also commented on in the original thread)

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.
Yep, I got that ... and I may very well already have all the right tools, with the possible exception of the metric stuff -- I'll have to check. So I AM really tempted to try this myself! (Remember, the issue is that I'm strictly self-isolating, and really avoiding contact with people as much as possible... so going to the local auto parts store is really out of the question...)
