Battery Removal 2016 Edge Titanium 2L EcoBoost

I may have to change the battery and looking at it stuck into that cavity I find it a very difficult place to work. I see there is a bracket in the front of the battery and at the bottom holding the battery to the base with one bolt and I assume there is not one also at the back because if there is one it will be inaccessible.

 

Since I have to remove the negative terminal first I hope I can slide the battery enough towards the front to get access to the terminals bolt.

 

Any tips before I dive into it?

I would not say completely optional but based on my experience with that heavy battery located in that difficult cavity you taking a chance to damage the air filter cover. I removed the filter cover since it was so easy and the rest was so easy.

 

What I found surprising was the unusual bracket in the negative cable. Why have this kind of adapter to connect the negative cable and not have a similar cable like the positive? Perhaps because it would have been more difficult to use a wrench in that location?
