The SRAM/Rock Shox service videos on YouTube are very good and as @Howard says the technical manuals on the SRAM website are excellent. When approaching things for the first time if I feel hesitant I write down the steps in my own words so that I have my own more readily accessible, concise manual.
As for parts, bike shops with a Fisher Outdoor account (which should be almost all of them) will have direct access to SRAM/Rock Shox. If you have any trouble obtaining parts PM me, my shop can get all current Rock Shox parts and support.

Thanks - that's helpful. There's zero play in the stanchions (as far as I can tell),. but def some wear. I'll open them up and take a look at the seals/whatever is in there.
Assuming the worse and I need replacements, where do I get these? Anywhere a complete noob should look to help level out the learning curve with this stuff?
They were dirt cheap, and the idea is to see how my Karate Monkey feels with suspension, but I'll happily ride them into the ground - however long that is - if they're working and don't fuck up the handling.
