Push the collar down against the spring to expose the bottom portion and remove the keeper ring.

First off, find your safety glasses, put them on. I can usually slip a screwdriver through the gap in the retaining ring and pry against the spring if you cant collapse the spring enough with your hands to get the ring free.

if you losen the top of the spring so it's lose, you can just use a rubber mallet to tap it and it will slide up, revealing the retaining ring, then off she comes.
