2000 Boxster S battery woes

[charofire]

I spent a solid 3 hours today trying to get at my damn battery. Here is what happened: a month ago, my wife hit a pothole and bent the 19" 3 piece rim. Finally, the shop fixed the rim, but now the battery was dead. Then last night someone came in and stole the radio. I was livid. So today, I read that with a dead battery, I could shimmy a screwdriver and slip the release mechanism block the front release. I was unable to find the right spot after giving it my best. So I then read that the release could be accessed with the front driver's wheel off and all I needed to do with locate the cable. No luck. I then read that it could be on the passenger side and I found no cable as well. The c3 fuse jump also does not apply to this model as it does on some later boosters. Would love to see an actual picture of someone with a 99-00 boxster that was able to access the cable in the wheel well (and which side).
