Has anyone with a late model Tourmaster changed their own batteries or saw it done? There is a bar that that pivots over the batteries when you close the front compartment cover and is in the way when you change the batteries. In order to change the batteries, the old batteries need to be slid out the end of the tray, or the front cover will need to be removed for easier access. It appears that there may be 8 or so screws on each side.

Did you remove the front cover, or slide the batteries out and new ones in from each end of the tray? The working tollerance for removing and reconnecting the cables is much smaller with the cover left on.
