Hi guys, I’m just about to order some oil to do my shocks. Am I missing something or not as I can’t seem to move the spring perch out. Is it possible to bleed them with the spring on?

The collar does come out you need to compress the spring beyond the lower eyelet and pull on the collar to then slide it off the shock....personally I'd get that spring off.
what ryan said above mate

i-rc shocks, there is a solid spring perch without the slot that i-rc used to supply,
but i thought those were a thing of the past now,
if it does have solid perches then just slide the perch up with the spring, you will see a small flat on the piston shaft,
small spanner/wrench on that and unscrew the piston rod end, remove perch and spring, bleed, then refit the spring/perch and screw the rod end back on
