its super easy... its on the pass side of the transmission. theres 2 14mm bolts holding it on, and the 10mm on the soft line connecting to it. just take those off and reinstall.

then youll need to bleed the system, easiest way is to gravity bleed it by just opening the bleeder valve and letting the fluid drip out until all air is purged.

The S12, S13, S14 are the same one.  Only difference is the bore but either will work.  some are 3/4" bore and some are 15/16".  When you say they gave you the wrong one what does it look like.  Old old Nissan stuff was different, but most new stuff is the same (by new I mean 80's and 90's)

don't hold the clutch down while you work on it, the piston will probably pop out if you do.
