MrGolf, easy to replace. I cut the wires outside , about 3 to 4 inches away from the sensor, I then connected the new wires to the old wires and went into the house, and carefully pulled the old wires until I had the new ones inside the house. I then mounted the new sensor and pulled the slack into the house. I then cut the wires to length and connected where the old ones were connected.....setting up the ladder took more time...
