Does anyone know of a straightforward, step-by-step video/file 'how to' for changing the under seat leisure batteries on a Fiat Ducato?

I can only find one relevant You Tube video and it starts from the seat already being off, and I haven't done that bit before.

I'm not sure what I need to disconnect before removing the old ones and in what order to do things so I don't damage the cab battery and risk getting another airbag ECU problem.
Thank you!
 
Someone will be along to advise on the order to disconnect/connect the electrics but the hardest bit for me was maneuvering the seat out the way. They can be extremely heavy so definitely a 2 person job.
 
Just done this today it's very straight forward getting seat off but really heavy.
1 Take off the covers all round they pop off
2 bolts at front
3 bolts at back
4 lift seat straight up

That's the easy bit making sure you have a battery that fits is important as they could not get a exact match hence the blue strap to stop it rattling

Good luck 👍
