Does it have a remote reservoir? If so, it'll contain pressurised nitrogen, so won't be home serviceable.
Actually, even if it hasn't got a separate reservoir, it may still contain gas. I've just been looking at the old Sachs shock from my Evo to see how easy it would be to strip and it has a sticker on the body warning that it contains 'pressurised gas'. (Yours may be the same). There's no external valve on this shock though so, even if you could successfully dismantle it, I can't see how you could recharge it with gas. (Presumably, the shock rebuild companies drill the body and insert a valve to facilitate recharging.)

So Mr Gazza's method is probably your only option if you don't want to replace the shock itself. (You would probably still need a spring compressor to get access to the damper rod.)
