How should you safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on 2005 Chevrolet Venture?

Eliminating the snap ring from gas-charged shock absorbers inside the top tube must be avoided because the high-pressure gas can escape with such force it poses safety risks of personal injury. Put on safety glasses before you do centerpunches and drilling on the shock absorber because the process requires you to avoid puncturing the shock absorber tube. Mark the tube bottom with a 10 mm (0.4 in) indentation using a centerpunch tool. Place the shock absorber rod at its maximum extension within a vise clamp during the operation. Start by drilling the shock absorber through the centerpunch using a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit. This will create an outlet for gas or oil mixture to escape, but you need to place shop towels under it for oil containment. After the middle of the tube obtains an indentation via centerpunch drilling occurs through this mark using a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit to release oil while shop towels control the active oil flow. Completing shock absorber oil drainage requires moving the rod in and out of the tube when the absorbent faces downward toward the drain pan.
