Basically what you need to do is clamp the shock in a vice , then compress the spring enough so the bottom collar will slide down , then you will see the wire retention snap ring , you use a pick while holding the spring down (2 people make this easier) and pop the snap ring off and the collar will slide down , then release the tension on the spring and remove it , the install is basically the reverse of that
If you have a press (like the Harbor Freight ones) , they usually come with blocks that have indents in them like the one in the picture , you put 2 together and the indents act as a spring retainer (depending on the way you face the blocks determines the size of the indents , basically half circles on each , so you can fit them to the spring size) , so you can compress it , so you could try that if you have one ...
