how do u get the battery out of an 07 BB? I took the metal bar that secures it off and obviously the cables. There is nothing else holding it except for some old mud. But it won't budge. Is there another bolt I didn't see, or one from underneath? Help

welcome to he!! lol, u did everything right next i would grab a screw driver, flat head if available and start scraping the mud out from around it, about halfway down on each side there is like a 1"x1" piece of foam and that is just to kinda take some of the shock away from the battery while ur hitting bumps, and once the mud is out of the way id try to scrap one or two of those foam pieces off the plastic to give for more room to move it back and forth, i personally wouldnt use the screw driver and pry on the battery with it to hard but that is what i did, once i got it out the first thing i did was grab a drill bit and my drill and drill i think it was 9 holes in the bottom of the box to drain whatever out when the battery went back in

id say to drill the holes in the bottom of the box and just run water around the battery to let the bottom clear out but u risk a chance of drilling a hole in the battery, you may also dry putting water around the battery and fill it up, it may make the sand a little loser and easier to pull it out

speaking of drilling holes in the battery... i did that lol. and i was being easy as i could and still did it made me feel like a idiot. but after i finally got the battery out i drilled me some big 3/4 holes about 5 of them in the bottom and sides of it for water to flow out of lol. also the aftermark battery that i got its to tall and wont let me put the stupid metal hold down back over it.... so i got wedged in there some some foam i had around the house. so far works good lol.
