do you know which thermistor? If you're just replacing the thermistor you should be okay, never hurts to recheck bed level and clearance though.
I replaced my bed thermistor with one of these when the wires finally snapped. You'll need to splice it onto the wires/connector of the old one unless you happen to have the right connectors and crimp tool laying around.
I think I have a no-solder fix for the heat bed thermistor replacement. I bought some replacements off amazon that come attached to wires and used some high temperature tape from the hardware store (I think its for fireplace exhausts or something. Rated to over 100 degrees C) Then I just ripped off part of the insulation, taped it down and fed the wires down into the bottom. Then I cut off the original wires, stripped part of them and just twisted them together and hold with electrical tape. I'm on my first print and it seems great so far. No soldering required. I left the original one on there too, just cut the wires short on the bed side. I can't guarantee it is as good as the proper soldering, but it seems good.
