Slide the seat back as far as it will go and still allow you to swivel
the seat.  Then swivel it a full 180 degrees to face the rear.  Now you
can have a friend sit there and watch you take the battery out.  The
hardest part for me was the battery cable terminal gets in the way of
pulling the battery out.  I think that it's because the cable is too
short - just long enough to connect to the battery.
