Yeah, that's a cinch to replace. You can opt for the tool (which is how I went, and I like it.. it's a nice hunk of brass so it won't spark), or you can get some screwdrivers to bang the bung nut out.. or find a nice brass drift or something. Just watch out for the sparks.
Removing it is pretty simple. It's in the trunk on a sedan, right behind the 2nd row seat in a wagon. Disconnect the battery, unfasten the return line from under the car (it won't come off of the sending unit), unplug the sending unit/pre-pump wiring, disconnect the ground wire (brown I think), pull the return line up so that it's sitting on the tank, undo the bung nut (just bang it about 1/8 turn), and then wrestle the whole thing out of the tank. The pre-pump makes it more difficult, but after trying everything you can think of two or three times you'll get the whole thing out.
I guess FCP Groton has new ones for $80, I would just hit a junk yard first. Get the gasket new from the dealer or elsewhere, and the in-tank pump from FCP Groton. The only trouble you may have is finding the 1/2" ID fuel hose.
