Product review (5 stars): Easy Installation
Okay unsolicited advice here. If you are changing this out you might as well change the rear bearing too as you are literally right there and it's just as easy. I did the main bearing last year and KNEW I should have done the element to but I had not ordered it at the time. I did get another year out of it but in the end I spend another hour pulling the unit apart (again) to install the heater once it DID fail. The actual installation of the replacement heater was four screws and four electrical connectors. Simple.
