West When i worked in the motorcycle shop a long time ago, we use to drill a hole in the side od a shocks and weld (braze) a nut to the side then put in heavier oil. It seem to me the main issue is cleaning and replacing the oil, so, if one can figure out how to pump the oil out them you should be able to push it back end, try a heavier wieght to overcome the seal leakage. i thinking of drill and tap on the casing some where, maybe even two places.
