Very straightforward just done mine today

At the end tap water goes in you will see a white ring "c" shape push it together and it will pop out.
Pull out the black end cap and o ring grab the end of the membrane and pull

Install in reverse of above

Gets sucked into position wiggle up and down as you pull, same with membrane.

Open the valves at the other end helps release the "vacuum" effect

Sounds like you haven't quite pushed the end cap all the way in - the ring fits into a groove

Thanks smudger I will try again  I did give it a couple of hits though if you put the clip in the wrong way round it fits perfect but then you can't fasten the yellow screw bit over it    :'(
