TTX36 spring removal??

[quattro750]

g'day all.

I am flumoxed on how to release the collar once I have compressed the spring on my new ohlins ttx36. it doesn't have a slotted collar like the old ones. Looks like I have to unscrew something but this doesn't make sense, maybe there is a hidden split ring/circlip somewhere. I don't want to have to take it to a specialist just to change out a spring.
Help!

This any help?

There is a split ring which will allow the collar to be seperated, and the outer ring can then be slipped over the upper knuckle.

Nah its simple Q, i had my ttx apart a few times on the honda changing springs, ive got a little stand and jack i made up to do the job if you want to borrow it, takes about 30 seconds, compress, flick out circlip, release.

sorted. need to get your frame back. sags are much better than before and it doesn't feel like a brick.
30% lighter rate spring! the other one is for the honda 1000.
