What did you find difficult? He showed exactly each step of how it goes...only trick is the battery tilt and drop into place. Some gloves give a lot of confidence on that step.
If you think any part of this is difficult, you should not bother attempting repairs yourself. This is NOT difficult at all, just takes a bit longer than many people would like for maintenance that the manufacturer KNOWS will need to be done (hopefully) several times during the life of the vehicle. If you think this is bad, I'll direct you to the vehicles whose "plug-in" headlamp cartridge is only accessible after removing the bumper.
@robert_knows7973 I've done this 3 times successfully. It's not as easy as this video makes it look. I don't care about whatever bs you have to say. Pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow.
Hey thanks so much for posting this. I was having a hell of a time getting the new battery in. I made the mistake of dropping the negative side down first. Then I saw you drop the positive side down first, went out in the driveway and BOOM, new battery in place no problem! Pretty tight space in this car, not a lot of wiggle room. Thanks again and have a good one.
At least this series vehicle (2006-2013 Impala) has the battery under the hood. HHR's had it under the spare tire (watched a "pro" scratch his head for 15 minutes looking under the hood and fenders) and of course many Chrysler sedans have them inside the front fender and for those you have to remove not only the tire, but the plastic inner fender liner as well (so easy to break a couple of the plastic "retainer screws and the liner never stays in as well as new). And don't even get me started on those vehicles that need the bumper removed to replace a headlamp or tail light.
Follow-up: How did you get the control center positioned in that location when removing and reinstalling? There is an electrical cable coming off the block connecting to the control panel that prevents it from being placed in that position. Unless this one was shortened or the one your working on was lengthened, I don't have anywhere near that range. Taking the battery out required three minutes of small maneuvers, eventually putting it on its side to get around the control panel and getting it out. Edit: I found a second pair of hands to hold it as much out of the way as possible and got it installed. Thanks again for getting me 90% there.
Near the end, the video shows you reconnecting the positive wire onto the fuse box right after you install the center board of the box; however, the next shot shows it disconnected again while you connected the negative battery terminal. Did you need to disconnect the positive lead from the box for some safety reason before you finished the negative connection to the battery?
What garbage to go thru just to change the battery. No wonder G.M stopped production of cars in 2019 because of poor design and quality like this example. By the way I'm not a G.M. basher because I own a 04 Impala which critics slam but I like for ease of service on the 3.4 engine and a automatic transmission with a actual dipstick unlike today's garbage.
Hi - Thanks for watching! If memory saving was not used, we suggest that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair for any system reset procedures that have to be performed.
I have a question I have a 04 Impala and I'm having security problems with it where it shuts off the engine how can I get past that to get the car running again I tried unplugging a couple fuses nothing really works
Hi - Thanks for watching! You may have to have the vehicle's security system (immobilizer) reset. This usually requires the use of a scan tool with the necessary software for your vehicle.
Page, no insult meant here, but that’s not possible unless the wrong size battery was previously installed. A 24F (the original battery) cannot come out of there by only removing the bar. I just did this install myself. You must be talking about a different model. The box he first pulls out of the way is obscuring the negative end of the batter (overlapping it by an inch or so) and the nose end of the car is overlapping the positive end by about 4 inches... so you can’t just pull straight up or even tilt it, without getting that box out of the way... the hoses from the engine are nearly pressed against the long side of the battery and the other long side is up against the body of the car. So you could not POSSIBLY lift it out of there without damaging the hoses or breaking off that black box. And even when you remove the black box, you still have to tip the battery on its side and pull it out at a funky diagonal angle... which the video here has edited mostly out. It is at least a 25 minute install. If you’re talking about the same car, I’d be SO interested in seeing a video of your 5 minute removal, as this is what I do for a living. It had me baffled for a good few minutes.
@@MatthewStout yep, just changed it myself tonight and had to remove that box. Not worth the hassle or risk breaking something to get it out. Just can't get the positive cable back on right.. the screw that tightens it screws back on weird
@@jaredpatterson1701 I wasn't playing around this time and it was still only about 0°F outside and I just shoved the new one in...it all kinds falls in one corner at a yime. I hate stiff wires.

Very helpful! It helps to know the sizes of the lug wrenches.
Hi - Thanks for watching! We're glad the video helped.
Great vid! Strait and to the point! Thank you very much! 😉

Thank you for the reality check.

2021 and this helped me alot
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Now that I managed to twist and turn that battery out, I may take a torch to that piece of frame. That was a beyotch!

Does anyone know the battery size for a 2012 Chevrolet impala LT?
Group size 34
Once I changed the battery the check engine light came on how do I get it off

Why is the music so loud? Cant even understand the guy.
Thanks for your feedback!
what a pain... thanks Chevy.. glad I didn't buy one of these lol.
If you're up for a laugh, check out the cabin filter location and swap procedure.
Anytime u have move all that around just to get a battery out that car was built bad 🤣🤣🤣 now the motor on these cars are phenomenal
Yeah I’m just gonna tighten till it stops moving lol
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your comment!
Nice clear easy to understand instructions! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and glad we could help!
I just took off the diagonal bar and got it out just fine. 5 min or less job

watch the top view here and see if you’re talking about the same install
@@benjaminchadwick5351 You absolutely need to move the fuse box...especially in the cold. Can confirm.

I did exactly all of that and the car will almost turn over.
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. We recommend that you have the starting system shocked for starter and electrical issues.
Music too loud to understand what he is saying
Hi - Thanks for watching! We're working on that.
