How should one safely handle gas charged shock absorbers during maintenance on Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic?

The high-pressure gas inside gas charged shock absorbers requires that you maintain the snap ring in its position since removing it produces dangerous eruption of contents that can cause severe injuries. Put on safety glasses when performing shock absorber centerpunching and drilling procedures to avoid both shock absorber tube puncture and personal injury. Use a centerpunch to create an indentation which should be located 10 mm (0.4 inch) from the tube's bottom. A vise should position the shock absorber horizontally while its shock absorber rod extends fully. The 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit chisels through the centerpunch while a clamp catches the escaping gas or gas/oil mix; shop towels control the oil discharge. After drilling the first hole through the tube's centerpunch position a second hole needs to be prepared at the same centerpunch point with the identical drill bit for oil release. Protect from leaking oil by using shop towels similar to earlier usage. Complete the oil drain by moving the rod inside the tube through the holes which face downwards while the shock absorber rests above a drain pan.

How to replace a shock absorber on Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic?

First step to replace a shock absorber begins with raising the automobile while keeping it secured. The shock absorber replacement process begins by unscrewing and removing the upper shock absorber nut and bolt before moving onto the lower shock absorber nut and bolt until the shock absorber can be extracted. After installation placement must be achieved by positioning the new shock absorber followed by setting it in place with the upper shock absorber nut and bolt. Secure the lower shock absorber by applying the nut and bolt and tighten both nuts to reach 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Finish the procedure by lowering the vehicle after removing safety stands.
