What happens here

Place the new Duralast battery carefully into the clean battery tray. Ensure it sits flat and is properly aligned. Reinstall the cleaned battery hold-down clamp and bolt. Secure the bolt by hand initially, then tighten it with the Craftsman ratchet and socket until the battery is held firmly in place without overtightening, which could damage the battery case or tray.

Goal: Place the new Duralast battery in the cleaned tray and secure it with the reinstalled hold-down clamp and bolt.

Tools and materials
