How to install new air valve in 2006 Sundance Optima?

Hey folks, one of my air valves (that feeds air into the foot dome) on my 2006 Sundance Optima went bad. I bought a new one online but I'm not sure how to install it. Below is a pic. Obviously it screws in, but how do I get the old one out? Just grab the outer plastic ring with pliers and twist? Any other tips / suggestions? Do I need to remove the plastic nut first?

You have to change the guts of it not the whole assembly. By no-means start cranking on it with a wrench! This would be a bad thing, take the cap/handle off and you might have to pry the old inner part out then put the new inner part in.

Well, I quickly realized that you need to take the side cover off the tub to replace the entire valve assembly. Of course, the old one is coated in spray-on insulation and would be a major pain in the ass to remove. So instead, I removed the "guts" of the new valve (i.e. the little black part inside the gray part) and transplanted them into the "housing" of the old valve. All is well.
