A useful tip for everyone:

The metal hold-down bracket is really tricky to get fastened down when you are installing the new battery. The solution that I found is to just barely tighten the bracket's bolt before placing the battery. This makes the bracket easy to move around. Then, use a straightened out metal coat hanger to adjust the bracket position as you move the battery into place. The coat hanger solves the problem of not being able to squeeze your hand down there to align things.
