I think you have to take the radiator out to get to it...or so I've heard. I've tried, wasn't possible for me with the radiator in.

Re: Remove battery tray ?
How far can you lean the radiator back? You may have to disconnect the trans cooler lines if it has an automatic trans. Do you have an air ratchet? Protect the radiator with a thin sheet of plywood and use an air ratchet. You will have to lean the radiator back as far as you can but I have done this without removing the radiator or any radiator hoses using an air ratchet.

Re: Remove battery tray ?
I was able to just lean my radiator back and get it. Scraped up my forearms, but I got it.
