How should one safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on Buick Lucerne?

Removing the snap ring inside the gas charged shock absorber tube's top should be avoided because this could result in severe personal injuries from fast-moving gas components. Wear safety glasses during both centerpunching and drilling of the shock absorber to protect yourself while keeping the shock absorber tube free of punctures. Start by using a centerpunch to create a depth of 10 mm (0.4 in) above the bottom of the tube. Fit the shock absorber into the vise with the rod fully extended and maintain it in a horizontal position. Use a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit to make a hole at the centerpunch location in the shock absorber then let gas or gas/oil mixture escape while using shop towels to collect the expelled oil. To drill the second hole into the tube you must first create a marked indentation with a centerpunch at its midsection before using the 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit again. The shock absorber should be placed in a drain pan while the holes face downwards before you push and pull the rod against the tube until the absorber becomes completely oil-free.
