one thing: make sure you use the battery tie-down strap and tighten it securely. Some people don't think it's important, but the battery will fail over time.
But seriously... use hand-tools, and basic logic. You'll do fine.

codes? where are you getting your information from, and when can you stop listening to them? seriously just replace the battery; next to putting air in the tires, it's the easiest thing you can do for vehicle maintenance.

I suppose, but as well, the material on the surface of the plates that separate each of the battery cells will fall off and settle at the bottom of the battery if it sees a lot of bouncing around.

He'll need the 4-digit code for the stock stereo, if he still has one.

Batteries aren't always simple, on some chrysler vehicle, you need a few universals, a lug breaker and some other stuff. But on a honda, it's about a 2 minute operation.

Ya, I can understand on some other cars. But on a 5th gen, it couldn't be easier. Open your hood, the thing is right there. With PLENTY of room around it.
Check your owners manual for the code for the radio, usually its written down somewhere in the manual (back of cover, etc)

I agree as well. In my car, its in the trunk. Which you have to remove the trunk lining (which also has the tool box inbetween the trunk lining and battery).
Also you have to be careful since i've got some sort of cutoff mechanism that will blow off the terminal in the event of an accident.
