Also, when I replaced mine I got lucky because I had the proper socket, because it's big and metric. I don't remember the exact size because it's been a while since I did it, but probably someone else will chime in with the exact size.

That would be nice to know so I can go buy it ahead of time if I don't have the correct size.
