How should you safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on GMC Jimmy?

The snap ring found inside the gas charged shock absorbers operates under high pressure conditions thus it should never be dislodged because this action could release shock absorber contents forcefully through your body resulting in injury. When centerpunching and drilling the shock absorber wear safety glasses for protection against tube puncturing during the process. Insert the first centerpunch mark 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) from the bottom of the tube. Position the shock absorber rod completely extended before securing it horizontally inside a vise clamp. Drill a hole through the shock absorber at the centerpunch point making use of a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit for gas or gas/oil mixtures to escape while shop towels trap the escaping oil. Using a centerpunch create an indentation in the middle of the tube followed by drilling a 5 mm (3/16 inch) hole at the centerpunch with a drill bit. Shop towels are needed to manage the escaping oil. Secure the shock absorber on the vise then place it across the drain pan with its holes facing downward and use rod motion within the tube to drain all oil from the shock absorber.

How to replace the shock absorber on GMC Jimmy?

Start by appropriately lifting and sustaining the vehicle before performing shock absorber replacement. Users must disconnect the automatic level control air lines which belong to the shock absorber system. The replacement process starts by removing the shock absorber to frame bracket bolts followed by shock absorber to anchor plate nut together with washer and finishing by removing the shock absorber from the vehicle. The first step for installation involves setting the shock absorber onto the anchor plate base without attaching the washer and nut. The first step installs the shock absorber to frame bracket through nuts and bolts while adding the lower anchor plate washer and nut before tightening the nuts and bolts while using full front suspension load. The installation of shock absorber upper bolts requires a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) which should exceed the lower anchor plate nut torque because it needs 84 Nm (62 ft. lbs.) for pickups and 2 door utility models and 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.) for 4 door utility models. The automatic level control air line needs to be reconnected to the shock absorber whenever equipped before performing a vehicle lowering procedure.
