It is indeed DIY-able but not sure I want to, for the marginal cost of someone else taking the risks instead.
Yea I appreciate the moisture can damage it, but if it’s leaking anyway, it won’t make any odds.
If it’s not leaking, then I can let out all the air mix asap and refill with nitrogen. Maybe even cycle through a pump/eject a couple times. Bear in mind, someone else may have filled it with air previously and that’s why it dropped over time so much.
All the same, if it’s rebuild-time, any damage will soon become apparent.

No idea about rebuild time but suspect it is diyable. Might be cheaper just to but a new shock.
Was told that moisure in the air can damage the shocks, so used to refill them at tyre places that filled car tyres with nitrogen, cheapest accessable source.
