Most folks don't bother. Usually not a problem. Replace it every 3-5 years and you should be good to go. Some people try to extend this and most get away with it, but not all :scared

Its a cheep part, if you're going to go thru the hassle of pulling it, just change it. I would never throw a used one back in. a new one for my toon is $80. JT
