OK1 I'm in need of a replacement battery for my '91 L98 Coupe. What is the easiest way R&R?

You have to remove the gill panel behind the front tire. I did mine last year.
 
1) turn wheels to left & open hood
2) remove 5 screws holding rear of fender well to access panel
3) remove upper bolt on top of access panel
4) loosen (don't remove) lower bolt; along the bottom of the panel is an indent just large enough for an open end wrench.
Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to remove it.

The above info provided by Brocky is how to proceed :
For a short video on this issue follow this link.
Also, when you put the side panel back on make sure your door is not going to jam on it. Check the alignment with door and hood.
nothing to it .....

Just did mine last week, the video is dead on and it only took me about 15 minutes to do it all and put it back together.... Easier than it looks..

As long as you have the torx bit ( I don't recall which one it is) edit: The video says "T25 bit". Might be that big. BWTFDIK
