I cant seem to be able to push the sight down far enough to be able to pull it out. Any suggestions?

Use a C-Clamp.

Look up the instruction video for the BC Tactical scout mount, in the video the clamp method is described in detail.

The BC Tactical video I seen states them not getting into how to remove the sight because of all the different types.
 
Crap, sorry. I forgot about that. I looked up a separate vid for the rear sight removal. I'll try to find it and post a link. In the meantime, here's the plain text version: use a rag to protect the finish, apply C-clamp to the center of the sight, and apply small increments of pressure. Once the gap at the front of the sight is large enough to fit in a flathead screwdriver, insert it and carefully but firmly pry out the sight and the spring underneath will pop out with it.
 
Here's one:

Guy doesn't use the clamp and you can see by how he's shaking how much more of a PITA it is. Use the clamp.

Here's another:

In this case the spring needed to be removed. This didn't happen to me. After using the clamp, the entire sight sinks a couple of millimeters, and once I pried it out with a flathead, the whole enchilada popped out. Hope that helps.
 
just removed my rear sight on my chinese military sks the other day.
There is a pin you have to punch out before removal. You have to use a small pin punch to get it out. Push it from left side to right. Once you get it out then you can push the sight down and remove (without a clamp) but it is stubborn.
 
The bits of mine flew away never to be found again when it finally gave, so if you need the spring for the future keep a close eye on it.

You are correct sir I had to push out this tiny pin with a finish nail. After that I just C-Clamped it and gave a little push with a flat head and out it came.

Thank you very much guys.
