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.
