Default Ohlins rear shock rebuild?

Hey guys, please fill me in. At almost 9k miles on the EC300 ('04) it may be time to service the rear shock. OK, I'm sure it is. After I replaced the tire and added the KoubaLinks I decided to adjust the thing.....well, there are now no clicks on either adjustment and they have no effect on the shock. It "seems" to have damping and seems to "work" but I only weigh 135 pounds. Compared to the 450 it is "weak" but not "dead". It does offer damping............

So, who do you guys recommend for service or is it DIY except for charging with Nitrogen?
Thanks,
Ed
ps.....the wife prefers the 450 to the 300....she says "the 300 has too much power". She easily rides either now.
