On my 96, I had to remove the panels in the wet bay which had the switches, water faucet and drain handles protruding. It was probably 15-20 screws including the trim pieces. Wasn't difficult just took my time. The bad part was that the black tank was full and the handle had broken off. I posted pictures of the change over and a write up. The pictures were after cleaning up what leaked past the valve as taking it apart. Lots of rags and fresh water rinsing were mandatory.

Not sure if your year is similar. Many threads in "search" that helped me before tackling the job. I''m sure that others will chime in.

I hope your tanks are empty. There are two panels with a bunch of screws.  Once the top panel is out you can reach in to disconnect the connections to the faucet.  Shut the water to the faucet off first at the manifold on the other end of the wet bay.  Remove the outlet and the cable connection.  There is a cable that goes to the valves held in at the top of the valve by a set screw. 

Here is mine.
