Hi Billy,
Do you have the replacement kit in hand and does it look like my picture below?
If your fg replacement kit looks like the one below then you should just have to shut off the gas to the water heater and then disconnect all tubes/connections from the bottom of the gas valve (do NOT disconnect the gas pipe) and then remove the two screws from the burner chamber door and the whole unit will slide out as one piece. To reassemble, install the new gasket (if not already on the door) and slide the new unit in place and connect everything up to the gas valve. Purge air and light pilot... should be that easy.
If your replacement part doesn't look like the kit below let me know, OK?
