Johnny...if you're replacing a similar model with another...its SOOOOO easy. If you've done basic plumbing before with no disasters, its a piece of cake.

Lift up on the duct on top and it should clear the exhaust and be removable. Remove the exterior case from the water heater. Turn off the water and shut off the gas line. Remove those. Loosen the screws holding the mounting plate to the wall and lift the water heater off the mounting plate. If the old mounting plate is in good condition and the same as the new one, set the new water heater on it, otherwise replace it. Reverse the above. Turn on the gas and check for leaks with a squirt bottle full of soapy water.

If you havent done a gas line before, you use a yellow gas line teflon tape on those instead of the white tape you use on water connections.
