simple just pop the old one off the slide the new one in its place. Make sure you wear some goggles, I ended up getting as in my eye, wasn't fun. The side running to the engine on mine I believe came off easier and I only needed the tool for the side coming from the gas tank, not positive though.

Don't forget to undo the inertia switch that is located in the trunk on the driver side.
