If there's no yolk, or blood, you're safe to remove the membrane.

Yeah, there's still yolk. You actually should have waited another 6-12 hours.

If the membrane was drying out, the humidity must be a bit low. You could've also moistened the membrane with the shell on, with some water, Triple Antibiotic Ointment(Non Pain Relieving), or coconut oil with a Q-Tip.

If it comes out, place him/her in a cup, or small container lined with paper towel overnight so it can finish absorbing the yolk.

You can remove the membrane, but follow my previous post about putting in a cup, or container overnight.

You have to be very careful, cuz you don't want to rupture the yolk sack.
