Skymaster337B is an unknown quantity at this point
So, as it turns out, that "hole" mentioned in the manual is behind the "lock collar." So you must remove the springs holding it on, then pull it down until you can see the little hole on the right side of the strut. Then stick a punch in it, to pop-out the lock ring, while grabbing it with a curved pick to pull it out of the internal groove.

The funny thing is, the very next paragraph in the maintenance manual describes how to remove the lock collar...to bad it wasn't put in the paragraph above so as to explain what must be done to access the "hole."

I hope this info helps the next guy.
