How do I remove the second battery from a underneath my 1997 E350 diesel van?

You have to bring the whole box down. Some screws have to be removed and some just loosen them up so the box slides sideways a little bit and then out. If you look at the bolts and the holes it will make sense

To lower, and lift the battery boxes I used a floor jack, but it get wiggly. I think a transmission jack will be more stable.
