Leaky Filling Loop

Hi folks,
Just bought a new house and for the first time, have my very own boiler! However......the filling loop has a drip coming from the "in" pipe by the looks of things. From what I have read so far, it seems to be a relatively easy fix, and with my boiler service not for another 6 weeks, thought I can do it myself. So, to test my knowledge, could you confirm if I have the right idea?
1) Switch off mains tap
2) Run kitchen tap until it goes dry
3) Disconnect current filling loop (assume it is the nut over the valves?)
4) Install new FL (anyone know what type I have?)
5) Switch on mains tap
6) Cross fingers
7) Repressurise boiler
Did I miss anything out?
Ta,
Chris
