Muska Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 <vent>GRRrrr! I just got a new battery and it is very tight to go under the seat. Well during putting the battery terminals back on I dropped a socket under the seat.Now I can't get the stupid tight ass battery out to get to the socket. I'm just venting and I'll go back and try it again tomorrow.</venting> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muska Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 The battery is a tight fit and i'm having a difficult time getting it back out. The terminals are not connected.Also the socket is not magnetic, so no magnet will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
