dhh3 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Changing the battery on a DJ is like changing the spark plugs on my 1990 Bronco II. The left front wheel needs to be removed! Someone else can do it! LOL Tito Mon and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
