You should be able to drive it in the hole so that it catches the plastic but not the wood underneath. Pull up on the screw and you're in business. |

| | | Are you sure it's not a "cradle" battery box , as in when you open it the box rotates up at an angle , slide the battery out with no wires/plug attached and slide a new one in .
My Jag is like that
similar to these. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electron...ery_Boxes.html
