There is a circlip that needs to be popped off with a flathead screwdriver.

The top mount is a bolt, the bottom one has the brass looking "bearing" for lack of a better term. if you look closely, the circlip is the size of a dime, roughly.

Either break it off if you have replacement shocks, or do like i said with a flathead.
