If you have a cab radio that has a secure code have it to hand before you start
If your alarm has special instruction for resetting? either have the instructions or contact the supplier/installer
I encountered no problems and I had a residual voltage feeding back to the cab due to a Sterling BtoB being installed.
Be absolutely sure you have the correct replacement battery! physical size capacity and terminal configuration.
Remove the cab carpet and there is the floor panel with coin turn fixings a 50p piece is good, just half a turn on each
Now you have the battery box cover, just remove the two nearest 13mm bolts.
The lid hinges up and then pull it away from the hinges towards you.
This is what you will find
Now remove the battery clamp 13mm nut
Now disconnect the Negative clamp, no spanner needed here but best to remove the cable out of the way altogether by removing the 13mm bolt to the chassis also.
Now remove the terminal cover at the +ve end
Remove these two screws and the red plastic doobree lol
Then slacken the +ve clamp nut 10mm ring spanner and lift the lot clear
Pull out the old battery
Present the new one
Be sure to remove both transit plugs
Reverse the whole procedure Amen
EDIT this is a left hand drive vehicle so do not be confused by that.
