I just did mine, it is un god ly I had to have help to remove the old one. The new one may weigh 10lbs I would say 40lb differance at the least. Now do relize, if you are having trouble taking off this will make it worse. You can counter act the effect by relocating the batt to the rear of the car, and removing an equal amount of weight off the front of the car. A 2600lb car goes fast with a little sissy motor. I know, 266 hp is what mine works out too.
