On the outside you remove the two screws and remove the thermostat from the filter housing.

Inside, once the filter bowl is drained and filter removed, disconnect the spade connector and remove the two screws holding the heater element down.

If I remember correctly the nut for the center stud is under the element on the Superduty....but the filter bowl is the same 250-550, so maybe my memory is fuzzy.

I had to make a longer socket to go over the extension pipe. I broke one because I found that it was left hand threads
