How should you safely handle gas charged shock absorbers during maintenance on Chevrolet Impala?

Safety glasses must be worn for center punching and drilling a shock absorber tube because gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas that can result in serious injury when the snap ring is removed from their top section due to extreme gas expulsion force. Safety glasses need to be worn throughout the process of center punching as well as drilling the shock absorber while you avoid any risks of puncturing the tube. Use a center punch to create a 10 mm (0.4 inch) indentation directly underneath the bottom of the tube. Secure the shock absorber horizontally in the vise while it is in its maximum extended position. After using a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to make holes at the center punch location, allow the gas or gas/oil mixture to escape through the holes while containing the oil with shop towels. A second indentation using a center punch should be placed in the middle of the tube before using the 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to create a second hole while continuing to contain the escaping oil with shop towels. When ready to remove the shock absorber from the vise users should first drain the oil by holding it horizontally with the hole pointed downwards before performing rod movements in and out of the tube for full drainage completion.

Some of these components are useful in reducing bouncing and managing shock impulses which in turn enhance the ride quality as well as handling of the vehicle.

Q: How should you safely handle gas charged shock absorbers during maintenance on Chevrolet Impala?
A:
Safety glasses must be worn for center punching and drilling a shock absorber tube because gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas that can result in serious injury when the snap ring is removed from their top section due to extreme gas expulsion force. Safety glasses need to be worn throughout the process of center punching as well as drilling the shock absorber while you avoid any risks of puncturing the tube. Use a center punch to create a 10 mm (0.4 inch) indentation directly underneath the bottom of the tube. Secure the shock absorber horizontally in the vise while it is in its maximum extended position. After using a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to make holes at the center punch location, allow the gas or gas/oil mixture to escape through the holes while containing the oil with shop towels. A second indentation using a center punch should be placed in the middle of the tube before using the 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to create a second hole while continuing to contain the escaping oil with shop towels. When ready to remove the shock absorber from the vise users should first drain the oil by holding it horizontally with the hole pointed downwards before performing rod movements in and out of the tube for full drainage completion.
