same thing happened to me.  just reconnect the metal terminals, and
wrap the connector with silicone tape.

none.  put a shop rag under the port before you take out the MFTS.
keep the new one close at hand.  when you get the old one out, immediately
put your thumb over the opening while you put down the old one and pick
up the new one.  when you're ready, quickly thread the new one in.

i didn't lose more than about a tablespoon of coolant doing this.
it's a very easy repair.
