They'res a ring at the bottom of the shock, but with a slot so it can slide off the shaft. Compress the spring so they'res no tension on the ring and just slide the ring off, get a friend to help compress the shock if you can't do both yourself. But yeh, things just start to slide off from they're. Make sure you put everything on in the same order it came off though.It's pretty simple stuff, Good Luck : )
