When mine let go I did it myself. Another reason why I hate I/O!! 
You should replace it with aluminum but thats going to cost! as why I did not use one at the time.  I painted it with some bridge paint a friend had. But today I would have it sprayed at a bed liner place.  
Chain Fall and a tree works well to lift the motor out, flip it over and you good to go.
