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

The high pressure gas inside gas charged shock absorbers demands users refrain from removing the snap ring inside the top of the tube because gas expulsion at extreme force could result in serious personal injury. Wear proper safety glasses while carrying out center punching and drilling operations on shock absorbers because doing so protects against damaging the shock absorber tube. A center punch should make a 10 mm (0.4 inch) indentation along the bottom edge of the tube before drilling begins. Position the shock absorber in the vise with its shock absorber rod entirely stretched out in a horizontal direction. Drill a hole at the center punch using a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to allow gas or a gas/oil mixture to escape through it. Use shop towels to catch the released oil. A center punch marks the middle of the tube where the second 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill hole needs to be created. The process of hole creation requires oil containment through shop towels. Set the shock absorber free from the vise while it rests in a drain pan that supports it horizontally by its holes and operate the rod within the tube to remove all oil from the shock absorber completely.
