Hello,
This is my first post. Thank you for the great information as my battery also failed. I followed the steps outlined and it was a 30 minute job. I will share pics of some the tools I used. Great recommendation on a wood chisel to remove the small cap. I had to remove both ends as it was easier to push the battery through the case. I only pushed it a bit.
I would advise anyone trying to take their time and don't rush it. I cut a small portion near the fuse, then used my finger to manually rip some of the blue tape off. I wanted to avoid cutting the ribbon.
