Default How do I remove the battery? How did you guys secure your Optima batteries?

Are there any bolts that hold the battery down? I took off all the molding pieces that need to be removed but when I tried to lift it up it didn't seem like it was going to budge. Is there something else that I need to remove before lifting it up? Also, does anybody have a pic of how they secured their Optima battery. I've searched but all I can get from the archives is that you need a custom mount and most are made of aluminum. Nobody seems to have a picture of how this custom mount works. Can anybody help?

Default Is the screw just in front of the fromt passengers side of the battery?

I think I see it but I can't tell if that's securing the battery tray or the battery.
