In steps 2, 3 and 4 you show how to remove the battery, but from steps 5-9 you show the battery installed. Is it required to remove the battery?

If this is a required safety procedure to remove the battery, I would suggest to edit the pictures in steps 5-9 showing the battery removed in those steps. If it is not required or stated in the repair instructions I would suggest to edit step 2 stating it is "Your suggestion but not necessary to remove the battery" or remove steps 2-4 & renumber the following steps.

I did something like this on another site & caught a lot of flack over it. In that one, I took pictures as I did the repair with the battery in, but forgot to mention it would be safer to remove the battery (only suggested in the instructions) to prevent damage from a short. But being a mechanic & knowing I could do the repair safely w/o removing the battery I didn't show the battery removed & someone damaged their equipment. Just a suggestion to save you from a possible big headache.
