Hey all, I'm headed up together my car next weekend, I stored it at my inlaws' vacation home in their garage all winter. Because of that, I don't have access to the car right now. My battery is, as far as I know, original (bought the car, a 2003, in 2007 and I never changed the battery) so I figured now would be a good time to change it. So I bought a new OEM battery.

My question is, what tools do I need to swap it out? I'd prefer not to haul a ton of tools up there if I don't have to, and they keep limited tools at the house, so I figure a socket wrench and a box end wrench? What size for each? Anything else weird or out of ordinary that I need? What to use to remove/replace the tie down? Thanks so much!


Also, what fuse is the fuel pump fuse? I figure I'll pull it and crank the car a little to get the oil moving since it's been sitting since November before replacing the fuse and starting the car.

 

I believe that you only need a small ratchet with a 10mm socket to change the battery.

The fuel pump fuse is under the dash and it's labelled.
