I don't recall which model we're discussing here but you're likely going to
have to take the air intake and maybe some other accessories off to get at
it. Then you'll need the right tools: a socket set and the right length
extensions - throw in a wobbly extension or swivel joint to be sure.

At the risk of getting boring, check the ground strap connections FIRST.
