I did change the oil on my dhx a few months ago but now it is leaking.

I already got the new o-ring but i can´t find the way to pull out the old one

I have the black cap out of the shaft, from the internal side there is a bushing and by the external a yellowish dust whiper.

could anyone please explain me how to remove the o-ring?

Thanks

You just need a pick to remove it. A sharp pin might also work. Just be sure not to scratch/damage the yellow dust wiper, red du bushing, or the seat for the o-ring.

It's easier to remove with the dust-wiper already removed, but you shouldn't remove the wiper unless you are replacing it. My local seal shop was able to supply the wiper for me (as a bonus it was in a softer rubber compound with less stiction). :)
