Thread it off. Then undo the brass nut that holds the cartridge in place. Wiggle the cartridge and pull straight up. Replace the cartridge and make sure all the old orings are out. Put some lube on the new seals before sliding the cartridge in.
Make sure you turned the water off, and open the tap to drain it

+1 to this...also, it may be difficult to come off if water has made it's way into that area over time. something to remove any limescale or calcification in it slightly (lime away, CLR, vinegar) should break it up so that it will come off a little easier.
