I am not sure what the issue is. The battery in my W123 is right there, looking at you. You disconnect the cables, take a deep breath, and snatch the big-ass'd battery out of the tray. Then you grasp your chest and take a few deep breaths. Take a drink of the beverage of your choice, then install new battery in reverse steps. You're not actually securing this beast to the battery tray, are you? Mass alone keeps it in place. I've had my 240D for about three years now, and the battery is held in place by gravity and has not shifted. I have cobwebs as proof.
