I got the bushing set from pivot works and started quickly trying to take out the old bearing. Noticed there was a retaining ring holding it in place. Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to get these out? It's not a snap ring. The shock is a stock banshee but I'm pretty sure it's the same setup as the warrior. Thanks.
Lower rear shock bushing replacement?

Figured it out!! For anyone with interest....
The snap rings can be removed with an awl/pick. I used a Pittsburg set I got at harbor freight for $.99 and it worked perfect. You have to use a hammer and hit the ring at a downward angle and the ring separated. I only had to remove one side on each bushing. One on top and one on bottom.
Then I used a matching size socket and pressed it out using my vice. Took less than 1/2 hr total.
