Re: Need to replace a Shimano 7 speed SIS rear derailleur...
Go to parktool.com/repair for pretty great step-by-step instructions with diagrams and pictures on the procedure. It would be easier to see than to try to tell.

The documentation I found says the Front derailleur is a Falcon MF 31 T.
But there's more that needs to be known about it.
It appears to be a Top Pull, meaning the cable approaches it from above and the 31T means it works with a front chainring of 31 teeth.
We need to determine the exact outside diameter (to the .1 mm) of the seat tube as the clamp must be precisely fitted. Typical measurements look like 28.6 mm or 31-1/8".
Once you know that you can go anywhere (eBay, for example) and order the same pos derailleur or upgrade to a Shimano Deore or above mountain derailleur.
Google this but keep in mind you still need to specify the clamp size
"shimano front derailleur top pull 31"
