Default I got one at Advance Auto Parts.

It was almost a direct replacement, but I did need to add a shim to the bottom of the battery box, to raise the connections to the same height, so that the cables would attach properly. Wasn't a big deal, and worked fine. I think I spent $70, this was about 1-1/2 years ago.

Default What are you having problem with?

IIRC, you unscrew the bracket, then disconnect all the wires. The battery should pull straight up. It's kinda awkward because the battery is heavy and you're standing at an odd angle but there shouldn't be anything else holding it down.
