What precautions should be taken when handling gas charged shock absorbers to prevent personal injury on 2004 Chevrolet Corvette?

Gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas and removing the snap ring inside the top tube can lead to an explosive force of contents that may cause serious harm to operators. You should always use protective eyewear before performing shock absorber drilling and center punching while keeping the tube uninjured. Drive a center punch tool to make a 10 mm (0.4 inch) mark from the shock absorber tube's bottom end. Position the shock absorber in a vise while placing it horizontally with its shock absorber rod fully extended. Drill a 5 mm (3/16 inch) hole at the center punch point of the shock absorber so the gas or mixed gas and oil can drain properly while keeping the dropping oil inside the shop towels. The middle section of the tube requires indentation with a center punch followed by drilling of another hole at the location with the same drill bit to allow oil drainage using shop towels for containment. Use the drain pan underneath the shock absorber positioned horizontally with its holes facing downward before operating the rod inside the tube to eliminate all shock absorber oil.
