First you may want to call M/B and see if it is serviceable seperatly.Some are made into the resevoir and arent replaceable but as an entire piece.If replaceable, there will be a sliding retainer clip that holds the sensor in the resevoir, the new sensor should come with a new o'ring, if not be sure to get one while at M/B. simply plug new sensor in the resevoir, slide retainer in and reconnect electrical
