I’ve done it twice. Go around the lid with a razor knife. The lid sits down inside the top perimeter of the case. Mine was sealed with RTV. You’ll also need to trim the plastic away from the lead post. They will be stuck to the top. I’ve replaced the optima battery in mine twice. The resealed the top with black RTV.
