If they have factory wheels and not some monstrosity you am can squeeze it out by turning the wheel full left I think to open the panel and the full right to work the battery out. Those, plus headlights and batteries on vw small cars we wouldn't do.
I used to work in one of those places. I got pretty good at changing batteries in customers cars. Some days in the winter, my fellow countermen and I would change atleast a dozen in 8 hours, sometimes more. I had a small tackle box of tools that would fit in my back pocket and I could swap a battery out in less than 5 minutes if everything went right.
There were more than a few people that got their neighbor to jump start their cars just to get them to the parts store so we could do a warranty swap. People will do desperate things just to save a buck.

meh. 13 and 15mm for the brace from the core support to the strut tower, 10mm for the washer reservoir, and then you get to the battery.
