Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you battery replacement on this 1998 Honda Civic. It's pretty much the same for the Civics in this era. You'll need 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm sockets and ratchet or wrenches.
Use a 10mm socket to loosen up your negative battery clamp. Lift it up and set it aside. Then, using a 12mm socket, loosen up the positive battery cable and lift that up and set it aside. Now remove this 10mm nut on the front of this bracket. Then push the rod down and then you can pull it up and out. Then just loosen this back 10mm nut. Once you have it loose you can lift that bracket up. Be very careful not to touch that bracket to the positive terminal because it will create sparks. Then lift your battery up and out.
Take your new battery, put it down into place, and put that bracket over the top. Put the rod for the bracket down into that hole so that it hooks on. Put the top of it through the bracket and replace that 10mm nut. We'll fast-foward as Don tightens up both of the nuts on the bracket. Now replace your positive battery cable and tighten up that 10mm bolt. Then take your negative battery cable, reconnect it, and tighten up the 10mm bolt. Then you're all set.
