Great news! Glad you were able to do it on your own!

Changing fluids is no big deal either. You can do that as well!

Forward all the $$$ you saved from the dealer trip into some Chrome.

Not so . . . I've handled the injury claims for these things . . . and I know of where I speak. Even what you are calling "Sealed" battery's have vents . . . disfigurment and the partial or total loss of eyesight isn't to be trifled with or dismissed so cavalierly.
