well if it is not super hard, then i would rather try to replace it myself. i will need to find some pictorial guides, so i can see what all is involved in removing, cleaning and putting back together.

My indie is the kind that will find all kinds of other things that have gone wrong, not that it is bad to get at all the items, but i don't think most will be necessary. but i digress...

anyone know of a good step by step, so i can gauge if i can tackle this myself?
