I've heard of people attempting to replace them on thier own and breaking a few before they give up.

Just have a company to come do it.

Yeah there is always a chance of breaking it. They sometimes can get them out without ruining the glass. The only time I've heard of reusing it is if there was a leak.

$200 or less for a replacement, installed with guaranty free of leak. ,, I watched the last guy put one in, by himself but he had it down, it was interesting to watch.
