Default Rear Shock Maintenance

I'm going to be taking my bike down and giving it the once over before spring - greasing everything, new fluids, brakes, etc. Since I will have the rear shock off and it's never been rebuilt as far as I know, I figure I should at least replace the oil but I can't find anything that tells me how to do it or even a rebuild kit. I've rebuilt my yz250 shock before. Is this any different? Any advice?

F2 shocks are not rebuildable. You can take them to some shops and they will drill and tap the shock for a fitting to repressurize the shock after changing out the old oil. Most F3 shocks are similar with a remote reservoir. Again, they can change the oil and repressurize, but not rebuild.
