I got a new bump stop for mine and then realised i could not service it. Was worried that i wouldn't be able to remove the bottom bracket without it loosing gas so modified a rubber door stop and ziptied it on "temporarily".
I have since discovered that i can unscrew it without any issues but really think after 17years the shock deserves a service

The first photo is the powder coat off the fork springs that was spread out through the internals of the forks, valving and the bushes and seals.
I drilled counterbored and tapped a hole for a racetech needle valve bolt. I should have gone another couple of mm deeper to avoid having to clearance the corner of the bolt to install the spring collars. The body is very thick in that area. Apart from that it was normal service and the internals were in fantastic condition.
