Mechanically there isn't a lot holding the shock together.
Safety first - never try to disassemble without discharging the nitrogren completely (you'd have a hard time doing it, but if you suceed it wouldn't be pretty).
The base of the N2 res uses a rubber pad/seal. A hyperdermic needle is required to discharge it, and again (with correct tooling/adapters) to regas is.
You can search how to use a bleed bottle which will is how people hand bleed the ktm pds shocks, or you can go a simple hand bleed which should work fine too. First time around expect to spend a fair whack on some tools, and bulk time learning. From what I see a standard service is pretty cheap. Just things to consider.
