The previous responses are how I replaced mine. Make sure you clean all
debris from around the area before disassembling and making sure it stays
clean as well as drizzle clean diesel fuel around the O ring area upon
reassembly for a light lubricant. I was hesitant at first but being on the
road not having $300-400.00 and 3 days to spare I tackled it on my own.
This list is a lifesaver of knowledge!
