Remove battery for 2015 sportsman

Help newbie question. I tried installing a Denali plow with belly mount on a 2015 sportsman 570. Installing the 5th carriage bolt is hard because. Have to remove the battery and put the bolt on top and the nut on the bottom. How do I remove the battery on a 2015 sportsman 570? Do I remove the Side panel and foot rest panel first? Or is there an easy way of getting through it? I tried looking online, but can’t find anything. The manual is very vague. Any tips highly appreciated

4×4 not disengaging.

I have a 2006 450 that the 4×4 (AWD) does not disengage all the time or sometimes catches.
I am pretty sure that the plastic cage that hold the rollers is messed up.
I know I have to rip it all apart and fix it but was planning on going out with it this weekend.
My main question is can I screw anything up worse if I continue to use it.
Having said that does anybody have that section of the service manual they would like to share??
