sorry you have to take the seat out to access the battary,
try sliding the seat forward and backwards to access the bolts
if possible.

Our club members have many times had this problem, and the permanent way is best served by removing the battery and installing it under a bench in the van. You will have to remove the seat once to do this, and use heavy cables for the reconnection. Also devise a way to hold the battery in place. We have all been there... Good luck
