The body panel outboard of the battery, forward of the door should come
off easily. Bolt on top, bolt underneath and the screws inside the fender.

you need a 10mm open ended wrench to get the panel off, a torx bit of the
correct size for the screws inside the fender, a small wrench that fits the
battery posts, and a socket wrench with an extension to get to the battery
tiedown bolt on the lower rear of the battery.

If you need to buy a 10mm open-end wrench, pick
the thinnest one available. Or, buy the least
expensive and have it ground of filed down to
slide between the bottom of the panel and the rail.
