I ran across a couple video serieses (produced recently), and wanted to share.

The first set is not really professional-grade... but it's the same guy who wrote the DIY for ClubLexus (mentioned before). He walks you through the tools and procedures needed to rebuild BC Racing shocks. This is with Bilstein guts.

It covers depressurization, removing clips, removing wiper, draining oil, cleaning, replacing piston bits (ring, shims, etc), and reassembling everything.

Also, for those looking into disassembling inverted struts (like Bilstein), check out Shaikh (from Fat Cat Motorsports) on a set of Mini Cooper struts.
