Those with experence with replacing this, how much of a PITA is this gonna be. Does it pull out or is it threaded? Do I have to move anything out the way for easier access? TIA.

Default Not too bad. . .

Getting all of the old plastic off without dropping any into the oil pan can be tricky. . . a pair of needle-nose pliers helps. The new one should just push on (carefully) and it's a tight seal. There is a small tab that needs to be lined up with the pan - but it's pretty clear where that is.

Default Do you recommend doing this before the old one fails?

Is it easier to remove the original when it's in one piece, or are you just as likely to crack it pulling it out?
