I watched this being done on my old 5er HWH by a tech at the Camping World in Myrtle Beach, SC. *If* you have the right tools, it's straightforward. If you do not, then it'll be a pain.
The model of HWH on that 5er had a metal plate/shield/whatever over it that could not be removed. That made it very difficult to get the tool in to properly loosen the old element and tighten the new one.
Be sure that you take pics beforehand so you're sure of your wiring.
Wiring does not matter on a heating element. It's striclty a resistive load with no polarity.
