Man-o-man you are not kidding.
Mine is leaking a little fluid lately, and I am guessing it may need replacement soon, but it would not be a DIY job for my skinny-little self. You would have to be under the chassis on the ground on your back, lift the old battery out and support it down to the ground, then lift the new battery up like you were bench-pressing weights into it's mount on the frame. No thank you. Although I suppose I could try to use my floor jack if it extends high enough.
I think I will just have it up on a hoist at a local Chevy dealership that can handle larger vehicles to get it done.
