In some ways, it's a lot easier than swapping an engine. In other ways, it's harder.

Not hard at all, they "other ways" that its harder is that the battery can be 1800 lbs and needs a proper lift.

Undo electrical cables, undo coolant hoses, unbolt battery and drop it down. Reverse with new

    Refrigerant into the battery for some unknown reason.
