Use a chisel or similar instrument to tap the shock body cover free, it is a friction fit and slides down towards the clevis. Don't be scared of giving it a few assertive taps to free it up, just move around the cover so it frees up evenly and doesn't bind.
Now undo the phillips head screw on the bottom of the reservior
This exposes the rubber bung. Get your needle ready, remove the valve core so it will let all the pressure out of the bladder when you insert it:
Remove the needle, push the bladder cap down into the reservior body enough to expose the circlip and then remove the circip:
Screw a longer screw into the threads of the bladder cap, (I think its an M5 x 0.8mm thread) don't over tighten it, just use your fingers and you will feel when it bottoms out on the bung. Then use some pliers and a bit of force and pull up to remove the bladder from the reservior. Cycling the shock shaft up and down through the stroke will help push the bladder up and out:
