I saw a similar problem with the battery carrier so I removed the bolts and tacked nuts to the upper part of the carrier. I used bolts to come up from the bottom of the carrier and made them long enough so that the carrier can be lowered to remove the battery without separating it completely.
The bolts can be lowered using a battery drill with an extension quite easily and by undoing two adjacent bolts to their limit and alternating the other two, the carrier comes down taking the weight of the battery which is bl##dy heavy.
I think the bolts I used were 5/16" x 2" stainless cup head with hex drive and a dab of anti-seize, worked a treat.
I also used the services of a 11" long nose plier and a lady friend with very small hands to do up the two back nuts on the actual carrier mounting, once you have that done, everything else is easy.
