I've read a suggestion to tighten them every couple of years, if you see that you can, because the vibration and natural changes occurring in wood result in loosening. When it leaks and you can't tighten/compress the rubber any more, then it's time to replace the gasket.
How difficult? Don't know, but I "think" that you should be able to pull the old gasket from under the unit, and put a new one on in the same way. You may have to wedge something on one side, do this side first, then other sides. The unit is sitting in the metal tray, and the gasket is under the tray. There are no pipes or hoses to get in the way, only 120V wires.
