Video tutorial

Thanks to the following video tutorial, we can replace the battery of the Opel Astra model J independently. To replace the battery, we need to open the front hood, the battery is located on the right side next to the engine.

We unscrew the nut on the negative terminal connector, so we can disconnect the terminal and perform the same operation to unscrew the nut on the positive terminal and disconnect it. Using the same key, we unscrew the connector nut and after disconnecting it, we remove the bolts on the bracket.

After removing the bracket, we remove the battery from its seat.

We insert the battery into the seat and connect the positive terminal, connect the negative terminal and the connector. We position the bracket and screw in the locking bolts.

After closing the hood, we start the vehicle to test the battery's operation.
