I'm attempting to reinstall the battery....how in God's name do you do this with 2 hands? I'm fairly strong, but stretching this strap is making me feel like a 2 year old.

Thanks,
Nick

Attach the strap and then slip the battery in.

I just did mine last weekend. Start by connecting the rear part, then stretch it to get the front. Mine only took 2 tries, but I didn't have to put much muscle into it.

Take a large screw drive, grind a notch into the tip. The insert the strap ring into the notch and use the leverage to put the ring onto the attachment point...

Wear eye protection and a cup if you decide to go that route. I see a tragic and painful ending to that.... lol

I finally got it! Thanks Spiderman and everybody else who may be laughing at this post. That was literally a pain in the ass.

I agree, I just did this and it is a pain, eventually got it with my own two hands, some adrenaline, and several tries.

I left mine attached up front and just pushed the rubber end down over the metal piece in the back by hand. It was easy.
