How should you safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on Chevrolet Express 3500?

The snap ring within the gas pressure tube functions to prevent personal harm caused by the powerful gas force so always maintain it in place. Safety glasses must always be worn while centerpunching and drilling the shock absorber because puncturing the tube with the centerpiece poses risk to your safety. Begin drilling an entrance point 10 mm (0.4 inch) below the shock absorber tube bottom. Secure the shock absorber horizontally within a vise by extending its shock absorber rod fully. Use a 5mm (3/16-inch) drill bit to make a hole at the first indentation on the shock absorber while releasing gas or gas as well as oil mixture through it; catch this oil discharge with shop towels. After you drill at the bottom indentation through the centerpiece the 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit will release oil. Take the drilled shock absorber from the vise when you place it face-down in a drain pan while moving the rod to empty all oil from inside.
