Yes, exactly.

Get the gasket that goes with it as well.

[spaceshuttle]

yes it bolts right in. You have to do something about the bracket for the old one though.

[wobbie]

any isuggestion for what to do witht the bracket?

[FredK]

Most people just break it off by wiggling it back and forth until the metal fatigues. If you remove the bolts that hold it on, it's generally accepted that you ought to get two new bolts.

They also get tightened to a torque angle, not a torque value.

So, if you have the tools to put it back to the proper torque angle and 2 new bolts, great! If not, just break it off.
