it depends if the syphon is in two or three parts if it is one part you have to remove as a unit to replace and if it is on aclose coupled pan you sometimes need new fixing ie donut washer and bolts if it is in two or three parts simply undo nuts around syphon lift off and replace but sometimes they are not inter changeable time wise between 10mins and twenty mins hope this helps
