Disconnect the negative (ground)

than one battery, disconnect both
negative cables). Secure the cable so
it cannot accidentally come in
contact with the post.
2.
Raise the vehicle and support it
securely with properly weight-rated
safety stands, ramps or a commercial
hoist. Take care to balance the vehicle
to prevent it from slipping or falling.
When using ramps, be sure the wheels
are centered squarely on the topsides.
