super common but it is a bitch to get the electrical connector unhooked..I am on the second go round of replacing mine.first one lasted about 10,000 miles and then started leaking again at around 26000 miles. In fact just changed it today the only hard part is the electrical connector. slide a small screw driver in from the battery side as the little white security clip that you press down on after pushing it open will not lift the tab quite enough to release it. remove the 4 10mm nuts and be careful not to drop them (I use a small magnet while i am unscrewing them in case i drop them so they won't disappear in the engine bay....then lift the hoses up enough so you can remove the solenoid...

I had this as well and I'm fairly mechanically inclined but no mechanic.

I agree, it's an easy job. Most stressful for me was moving the pipes a little. I feel like they are very easily bent and kinked.

The tips I have is to clean it down with a engine degreaser first and let it dry. Then also I used "Super Lube" silicone grease. It's what chevymitchell suggested.

yes just grab it with a needle nose pliers and pull it out..then take a light smear of your engine oil and put on the outside of the seal and it presses right in place using your thumbs.
