First and foremost DRAIN and FLUSH the black tank very well prior to disassembly!
As said, remove the 4 nuts and bolts from all four corners. Separate the black pipe on the right away from the from the blade valve. Insert new blade valve and bolt back up. I had to put a ratchet strap to my axle and "gently" move the black pipe back enough to get the new blade in with messing up the O-rings.
My cable was sticking as well and the blade was leaking. For the cost of a manual valve and cable and an electric valve, I chose the electric. Push button, valve opens. Push button, valve closes. Perfect!
