Shocking Shock Rebuild, mystery solved. was created by blipco
While there are some shoddy practices going on such as tapping on threads, swarf being shoved inside, sandals, and I’m not so sure they didn’t re-use the old oil or a proper measure, the basics are here for rebuilding a non-rebuildable shock.
The pliers in the vice trick is pretty slick for grabbing hardened round stock.

Very. interesting! 

Their safety procedures are minimal.  No guard on the grinder...no safety glasses.  
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

The grinder was pretty well balanced tho.
