HOW TO GET THE BATTERY OUT OF A CHEVROLET LUMINA
1)remove the three bolts that hold the crosspiece which makes it impossible to even get jumper cables in contact with your battery.
2)remove the two bayonet pins holding the water bottle to the frame.
3)remove the pump from the water bottle
4)remove the water bottle (I won't even try to explain how you get it past the fuse box)
5)remove the three bolts holding the bracket which hold the battery
6)remove the battery bracket (don't forget that it's holding the air filter in place)
7) remove the battery "cosy"
8)congratulations! You have now reached the battery
GM engineers had a Brain Fart when they designed the Lunima battery palacement My wife used to have a Lumina, I hated having to change the battery out or even check the water level.
