battery change

I have a 96 Regal. What is the best way to change the battery? Do I need to take off the air cleaner, or the brace and washer bottle? Any input would be great Thanks

Brace Over The Battery And Bolt Thats Holds Battery Steady

Thanks

I believe that car has the washer bottle over the battery. If it does, the easiest way to remove the battery is to take the cross brace, washer fluid bottle and air filter housing out. You can do it without taking the air cleaner housing off, but it's so tight, it's easier to remove it.
