One note if you haven't done this before, use a box wrench and wrap the handle with friction tape. 1. it won't slip on you and most importantly, 2. you won't ground the positive terminal to the body when you're fussing with the nut. Didn't happen to me, but I've witnessed it.

Just remove the negative terminal first and then the positive. When reconnecting; positive terminal first and install protective terminal cover BEFORE connecting the negative. "It could happen to you; it happened to me". If your wrench is shorter than the distance between terminals then the danger is somewhat reduced.
