It was so easy. Just take the top of the vacuum off. Then take out the filter cage, then remove the filter. Install the new one, and reverse the rest of what you did before.

Easy to fix. Not the fastest delivery, but it was all that I needed. Glad I found the website. Better than guessing at the big box stores for the parts.
