Thanks for that! My wife and I just changed the battery in her 2014 Journey. We hoisted the cables and the hold down bracket up out of the way with wires. Folding back the rest of the inner fender and wiring it in place out of the way also makes the job easier. We installed a Walmart battery which was a 1/2" higher, so the hold down did not fit. We took the battery box out (4 bolts) to modify it. We spent the better part of two days doing it, with all the rest and thinking periods, but it is done. I just turned eighty and it was not an easy job. Stupid, stupid place for a battery!!

Regular guy here, did it without removing the wheel. Just turn the wheel hard to port. It's a bit cramped, but it's definitely possible. Hardest part was keeping the clamp from falling into the way whilst lifting the new battery into place, just as seen in this video. Dropped a bungee tie-down from under the hood, hooked it to the clamp, and pulled it taut to keep the clamp lifted. Took less than an hour.

For all those want to use a Optima Battery -> take the Optima RT S, not the Optima RT U. Otherwise the "battery holder" will not fit that good.

[@jawzzybuppa3234]

yes it IS a stupid place for the battery, but once past that, I had to have an AGM and the only one I could find in Canada in group sizes 26, 75/86 was an Odyssey for almost $500cdn plus $100 shipping. There were many other sizes at around the $200-50 range, but not the one I needed for OEM measurement's of 9 1/16" L x 6 13/16 W x 8" H. So I found a group 35 that would fit perfect, BUT it's a right hand positive, and Journey's need a left hand positive. I thought of buying it and just turning it around, but this one had downward indented posts and I didn't think the add battery monitor on the ground would clear it enough. Then I found a group 34 at Canadian Tire with very close measurements of 10"L on the bottom, 6 3/4" W and 8" H. I had already measured the battery tray and figured it would work, so I bought one. In the end it took a "little" bit of adjusting, but I got it in nicely! I had to remove the battery handle and sheer off the holder for it on the ground side. Then I cut the rounded corners off the battery tray with a grinder in seconds, painted the bare metal and the battery fit in perfectly. The only other issue I had was getting the battery in WITH the top holder in place already (couldn't get it in after). So I tied a string to it from above and held it there in place while I put the battery in it's place. The battery terminals were never an issue as I found a nice place to push the positive one up in place out of the way and it held both of them up out of the way very nicely :)

Great video, but rather than twist the hold down out at the front of the car, use a coat hanger to hold it up after you remove the tie down bolt.i just snaked it through the top and tied it off on hood bumper.
