How do you go about changing the liner on an above ground pool?

Our liner that has been there for 5 summers is shot and actually has slits in it which allowed the water to drain completely. We need to install a new one I purchased. We aren't sure how to remove the top ledge and change the liner without the walls collapsing Can anyone help or tell me where I can find out this information?How do you go about changing the liner on an above ground pool?After the water is drained, Remove top rail (usually screwed on) then remove liner clips. After that remove old liner. Install new liner same way making sure no wrinkles in bottom of liner. The walls shouldn't collapse if your careful. Put about 2 inches of water in pool then smooth out any wrinkles you may have
How do you go about changing the liner on an above ground pool?
We just put a new liner in our above ground last year, you will have to remove the rail from the upper part of the frame, it won't collapse if there is no water in it. You probably have plastic clips around the top of the pool that hold the liner in , remove the clips and remove the liner, you should have some type of screws in the top rail center clips that are on the top. Your local pool supply should carry all the supplies you will need, and be able to answer any questions that you have as long as you know the brand name of the pool.
