Yeah the collar/locknut on the damper rod that locks down onto the base plug while back right off the shaft. You may need to make up a little holder to crack it loose without damaging the shaft.. it won't be really tight though.
Then with the comp adjuster assembly (top of the cartridge) removed the whole piston and shaft will lift out the top.
Take note of the piston band. It's stepped and comes off the mid valve.
On re-assembly an o ring will hold the piston band in place and pop off when you push the piston back into the cart.
BE VERY CAREFUL with the threads on the damper rod passing through the cart seals. Some people tape them, others take the edge off them a little.. they can cut the seal if you're too forceful.
Going back together is opposite, but you will need to index the base plug and locknut to set the number of clicks on the rebound needle. It's not too hard.
