Some drain valves are threaded and some are barbed. Barbed: pull out old, push in replacment. Threaded: unscrew old, wrap teflon tape around threads of new, screw in new. Valterra makes replacements for both types.
It probably is not as easy as this sounds. If you pull out the old one and go to push in the new one and the whole pipe/tube moves away from you as you push.... Someone will probably add some wonderful trick here about how to do it.

Can you get the old one off? If yes, do that and buy one like it. You can probably get one on Amazon or at any store which carries RV replacement parts.
I tried a quick cruise around youtube and didn't find any videos, but there are probably some there.
