Shock collars
Hi, Doug....
By collars I suspect you mean lockrings?? Just loosen both collars 'til spring is loose, turn the shock over and slide the spring cup out. It has a slot in it. The spring will slide off, then the collars can be removed. This is what I do on my '98, plus this is the way the WP manual shows to do it.

incase any one else has to do this i figured out how to do it
i put the locking bolt through the wrong way and put a large spanner in the slot and tightened it up exspanded the ring <had to file a bit of the shock> and slid it on
