Hi all, how easy to get to the battery on a 2012 ST please. I have bought the up-rated battery and want to fit it at the weekend?
I use a small diameter piece of vinyl tubing to do the same thing.Now you are going to curse at the battery nut because the battery is vertical so the positive lead nut falls out. Towards the beginning of my thread... What TenereGUY has been up to... is a trick to fix this with pictures . In short. Take a pair of foam earplugs. Cut it about 3/4 of its length to shorten them a bit. Now compress it and put the nut and earplugs in to the terminal. Your nut will now stay there and be aligned and shoved up so you can easily thread the bolt in.
Or Vaseline.Or what I do is a dab of Silicone applied to the nut , insert the nut then screw the bolt in place to hold it there overnight, install battery the next day.
And cough.Or Vaseline.
That's the other side.And cough.
