Unless your truck has an oversized battery, you shouldn't have to move or disconnect anything on the battery. I'm not a small guy (6ft, 230lbs and still lift weights sometimes), but I was able to get my hand between the battery and bulb socket.

I burned the driver's side out last summer while on vacation and replaced it w/ the spare bulb that I always carry. When I got back home, I bought two new bulbs and replaced both sides and kept the good one for the next time one burns out.
