I was trying to replace the original battery hold down bolts which were badly corroded. I managed to get the two out and replaced on the passenger side without too much trouble.
The driver side is a problem. I was able to remove both bolts on the driver side. But, on the outside bolt, the "U" Nut moved and dropped below the battery box. It seems I need to remove the battery box in order to install the missing "U" Nut. Is there a simpler way. I watched some YouTube videos but the process seems a nightmare for an amateur mechanic. Any help with be appreciated.

Thank You.
