Stuck battery bolt

[Grahamm]

Before you install the new battery get  a strip of old bicycle inner tube and ductape a strip of it around the battery longways leaving two 4'' ends which you can use to haul out the battery. Fold the ends over the top of the battery and tape them together to keep them out of the way when you are done.

NOW he tells me...

(Not least because I've got a few old inner tubes lying around which I may fix punctures on at some time if I can ever be bothered!)

Ah well, I'll remember that for next time
