the shock bearings are by far the biggest pain in the ass job ive ever had on my warriors and i rebuilt both of them practally from the ground up. when i did mine i sprayed a crapload of pb blaster in there every couple of min for a couple hrs inbetween doing other stuff just to losen them up. then i was able to drive the bearing to one side a little to get better access to the snap ring. then its just a matter of fighting with it using a pick and a small screwdriver or two untill it finnally comes loose. a pair of tiny needle nose pliers to grab it out of there and your done. when i did mine it took me probably 2hrs of just picking at it to get things apart and ive done stuff like this before. also keep in mind that the snapring is steel and the shock alumimum which dont mix so they can corrode themselfs together pretty darn good
