No tools, a few minutes: 5 steps, listed on this page with the replacement video where the maker has one.

What happens if I don't change it?

1Put a container under the filter to catch drips.
2Turn off the water and open the filtered tap to let the pressure out.
3Pull the tubes out of the push-in fittings at each end of the old cartridge and throw the cartridge away.
4Unwrap the new cartridge and push the tubes into each end, with the flow arrow pointing the way the water runs.
5Turn the water back on, check for leaks and run the tap for 5–10 minutes; milky water is just air and clears.
