The pre 1981 models vent just pulls out. You'll need to heat the housing and grab with a pair of vise grips or channel locks. Probably the old one will be destroyed coming out. Clean up the hole and apply a little bit of grease inside the hole. Reheat and lightly tap the new one in with a rubber hammer. Before taking the old one out, make note of how it was positioned...put the new one in about the same location.
