Just undo the clamps at the top and bottom, take the end caps off, then draw the old membrane out.  Make a note of which way it goes in so you put the new one in the right way.

Simple, really - there's only one way you can do it.

There is a rubber ring at one end of the new membrane. That should be on the inlet side, and when pushing it in should be the last thing you see. It should just slide in without much force.

Yes the sediment filter is the white one, and the carbon with the blue and mesh. The sediment filter always goes first.
