you hardly need any special tools to take the shock apart. spring compressors maybe, but
you can do away with ratchet straps. and I think the busa shock has a schrader valve under
the shiny cap, so releasing the nitrogen isn't a problem. after you're done with the rebuild,
take it to a shop to have it filled.

as for shock fluid, i've no idea what you have available locally, but you should look for the
highest viscosity index (VI). Redline, slikolene pro rsf 2.5 or motul should be fine.
