I expected better from you. It's easy as fuck. You can do it in front of the auto parts store where you buy the battery. Borrow their tools, bring old battery back inside. Voila!

In most cars it is easy, in some cars you have to make sure the vehicle maintains power during the change or everything gets messed up.

Alternatively, you can just call triple A and not only will they put it in for you--they'll also bring a battery out to you.

It is likely very easy. HOWEVER, there are few kooky models that bury the battery under other components that can make it a bit more challenging. This should be readily apparent after looking at your engine bay for 5 seconds.

1. with car off, open hood

2. locate battery

3. undo anything attaching battery to car, including wires

4. lift battery out of car

5. put new battery where old battery was

6. reattach new battery to car in same manner as old battery, paying specific attention to the bright color coding of which wire goes to which battery pole

7. close hood
