It was very easy to remove the old cover and install this replacement. I would suggest watching the replacement video beforehand, but the only thing to note is that there is a wire between each ear that goes through the loops in the original lining. Slowly remove this spacer and use sharp scissors to cut through the loops, being careful not to pull on the wire. The color may vary a little or just disappear on other plastic parts, but it's close enough. Feels just as comfortable as originally. All in all I would definitely recommend this replacement pad.
