It's not at all difficult.

You'll need a 'thin walled' socket, 1 1/2 inches (I think). If you can't find a thin wall socket you'll need a dremel tool to shave away the sheet metal around the rod so a normal socket will fit.

Chances are the place that sold you the rod also sells a cheap-o socket like tool.

Be sure to turn the power off first!

Remove the anode rod & drain the tank.

I found it easier to remove the gas tube in front of the rod than to try to work around it.

Good Luck
