Duramax battery removal

We need to change the batteries in our 2012 Duramax, & DH can't figure out how to get them out. Says they are both blocked by a bunch of "stuff". Not his exact words but you get the picture! Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? We've searched online and YouTube with no luck.

    I did finally find this. I hope it will help him. He's not ever had much problems with mechanical stuff before, altho it's not as simple as it used to be, but this just has so much "stuff" around it & to do to just remove a battery is crazy!

    I did not have any trouble with mine... A bracket or strut had to be removed... But it was real easy.
    If this task is beyond DHs capabilities, then hooking up the battries probably is too.
    Take the truck to an Autozone etc... They will install the batteries for you (if you buy from them) at no charge.
