I bought the camera from the local ford dealer BL3Z-19G490-B ($320) as well as the name plate CL3Z-9942528-AA ($27). I popped off the old name plate which of course breaks both tabs, no way to avoid that - it's designed that way. I removed the 2 screws holding the base to the tailgate, unclipped the cable from the camera, then removed the 3 torx head screws that hold the camera to the sub-base. I replaced the old camera with new, reinstalled the 3 torx screws to hold the camera to the base, attached the cable to the new camera, reattached the base assembly to the tailgate with the 2 screws and then tested the camera. Everything was perfect, no setup required. I drove it for a bit just to make sure that the camera kept working then attached the new name plate. Total repair time (not including driving) was 15 minutes.
