If the bolt that secures the battery is rusted to the nut on the underside of the battery tray, the bolt will spin freely without loosening. This has the potential to be time consuming, because it is difficult to access the nut on the underside of the battery tray.

there is a ductwork over the batery in my car that goes to the air clener assembly, so how do you remove this part before the bolts for the battery?

I found out that the ductwork for the fresh air is held on by three plastic screws that come off then pop out the plastic retainers and lift the air duct out of the way and reverse to install
