There should be a large white circlip which you need to remove first. Once thats removed the centre cap (usually black) can be difficult to pull out. Its just a tight fit, you need to get molegrips on the fins of it taking care not to break them, turn it and pull slighltly at the same time.

Is bleaching something you should do every time you change the membrane?
