No one, ever? Anyone here perhaps? :-)

The sticker on my 156 says to replace them in 2011 and I was just
wondering on how to replace those things. Haven't looked in the
on-line catalogs yet, but I have a suspicion that those 'bombs' are
not on sale just everywhere. And that replacing them might be
considered hazardous job only to be carried out by qualified
personell.
