A medium flat screwdriver and a pair of small pliers. It's really easy.

Just make sure that you don't short the battery terminals by accident (e.g. with the pliers). That would end badly. (It may be a good practice to stick a battery plug in the opposite Anderson SB50 terminal, or disconnect it at the screw lug.)
