Fixed this and posting an update here to help anyone else who has the same problem.

To get at the strap you have to lift the front of the car, take off the under engine cover and LF wheel. Bolt and nut are 13mm hex. I replaced the strap with a 4ga wire and car's back in action! All for less than $10!

Even if the strap looks like it might be ok, get your hand on it and work it, in my case it fell apart after a few pulls.

Can you get to it from wheel side and underneath, do u still have to take the battery out?
