Go to Canadian Tire and get it done by one of the mechanics
Most shops will change them for free with battery purchase. Just go there. Disconnect negative (ground) cable first, then the positive. Remove the hold down strap or shoe and clean and inspect battery cable ends. Place new battery in tray, replace hold down parts, reconnect positive cable, then negative cable and you will be done.
firestone or autozone
It really depends if the battery is easy to get to, I had one car the battery was in the wheel well of the car and it was easier just to get my mechanic to change it out.

If its inside the engine compartment you take off the 2 battery cables and clean them. Unbolt the battery from battery holder and put it on the ground but use old rags and don't get any acid on your clothing or it will be ruined! Attach the new battery to the battery holder and make sure the postive and negative cables are hooked up correctly.

Take the battery to your mechanic to recycleor give the battery to the store you bought the first one in for the deposit back.
Take loose or off any hold down bolts or straps.Disconnect the negative or ground wire first. Then disconnect the positive side and remove the battery.Put the new one in the same way, hooking up the ground wire last.
Die? Somebody has fed you a real line of lies. Just look at the way the old battery is installed. It will have two large wires attached to it. One will go to a point marked with a + sign on the battery and one will go to a point on the battery marked with a - sign. Mark the large wire going to the + point with a chunk of tape with a + drawn on it. Mark the wire going to the - with a chunk of tape with - drawn on it.



Loosen and remove the bolt holding the - sign wire first. You will not do any damage if your wrench is touching this point and you also tough the motor or body of the car. Remove and isolate the - wire, by this I mean cover it with a rag or tie it out of the way so it won't touch the battery again. Now you can safely remove the other wire, the one marked +.



There will be one or maybe two bolt holding down clips to keep the battery in place. Remove them and lift the battery out.



Place the new battery exactly as the old one was ( this is why I told you to look at the way the old battery was installed at the begining), return the hold down bolts, reattach the + wire, reattach the - wire.



Done.
First, take off the positive battery terminal. Take off the bolts to it and then take off the negative terminal. After that make sure that you now which is the positive and which is the negative post, one will say + and the other will say - the plus is the positive and the - is the negative, don't mixed them up or it will spark.
