A coat hanger wire is suitable to remove the internals. If you want to swap out the oil then syphon it out (do it once, then leave them over night and do it again in the morning).
Do the reverse to rebuild em.

For the scot-oiler, I'm confident enough to do wiring on my own bike but I'd not do it on someone elses but I assure you its quite simple.
God no. Take them off the bike and drain the foul smelling crud out. It don't take long

Well I did the Scotoiler and dual injector today, and it wasn't that hard. Very impressed with the result and I managed to hide all the tubing. Top Result. Now the forks!

Don't do it like that, take the forks off and do the job right!
