hehe my girls has a 94 and they are a biotch, i used a screw driver and did not push that hardto where it broke the clip.You should be able to pull the battery for the passanger side but the driver side i used a screw driver and got it undone.

it takes alot of arm strength. I'm always worried that i will break something i have to push so hard. Thats why they say to never arm wrestle a mechanic.

I just use a screwdriver to get it loose then just use my hand... be careful though i have a few chunks missing out of mine.
