No replacement instructions accompanied the new part, so I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has gotten them. While it doesn't look like a difficult replacement, the gage on teh Semi Automatica is fitted pretty tightly against the water tank, and it would be good to know the recommended replacement sequence.
