I'll just give you the rest of the rundown, cause I am going to bed soon. Soak the roots after carefully removing as much of the old media as possible. This will help to get the rest of the old media off of the roots. When that is done and they are fairly clean, you need to inspect them, and cut off the brown dead mushy ones, do not cut them if they feel firm. Once this is done, soak them again in peroxide to clean out any rot or bacteria (10 minutes or so). I then rinse mine and inspect again to see if I have missed any dead ones. I then spray the whole works with cinnamon spray (1/2 tsp cinnamon extract, 3 drops dishsoap, and a quart of water in a spray bottle) I then put them in an appropriate size pot with a couple of styrofoam peanuts or some clean rock in the bottom. I then place the plant in the pot at a level that I like and hold it while filling the pot with medium, and gently shaking and tapping the pot on my table to get the medium to settle. I fill the medium in being careful not to bury the crown too deeply. When it is done I just clean it up and gently tamp the medium with the back of a spoon and fill. The trick is to make sure there are no empty pockets in the medium around the roots. Those are instructions for bark. If you need instructions for sphag, let me know.
