remove the c ring using a pin. (sewing needle, push pin, pretty much anything sturdy with a fine point)  
To do this, take the pin and try to find the gap in the c ring. Then just apply pressure to pop the ring out. It usually works better from one side than the other, so if you can’t get it out on one side, try the other.  
After you have the c ring off, just tap the yoyo on something and the shield should come right off.

First of you should probably move this to modification and maintenance second all you have to do is take a paper clip or something small and pointy and pull the c clip out it may take a few tries but it will eventually work if you need help on the rest watch the video about maintenance in the learn tab
