Very very easy fix. Put the top in service position. You will be able to reach down and lift the broken end up. No need to disconnect anything. Count the threads that are left exposed and unscrew the broken piece. Screw the new one on to the same point the old one was (thread count). Line up the new coupler with the metal ball and pop it on. I used a long screwdriver with slight pressure to get it on. I couldn't do it by hand.
I think the trick to the job is the position of the top in the service position. You need to see and reach the arm. Secondly, I had to slightly adjust the top (service position) once to get the new coupler piece and the metal ball to line up. On a scale of one to five, this is a one. Don't sweat it, very easy.
