Dont think I did. It was the big plastic one that slides out of the side.

Default Might take a little twisting, but you shouldn't have to pull too hard.

The pliers will definitely help you get a better grip.

Default Pushing the new one in is cake. Just make sure you took out the old o-ring...

Sometimes it doesn't come out with the sensor.
