I haven't had to replace mine but I have had it off, it's just under the distributor cap, it's flat with a 2 wire pigtail, it has a tab on one side so it will only go in one way.

Screwdriver to take the distributor cap off. Pop the button off and the module will pull right out. Unplug the wire and plug the new one in. Install in reverse order and you should be good to go. Good luck.
