How to service the rear shock absorber on 2003 Toyota Tacoma?

Service the rear shock absorber on RZN191L-TRPDKAB and RZN196L-CRPDKAB along with PZN196L-PRPDKAB VZN195L-CRPDKAB and VZN195L-PRPDKAB units by first employing safety stands and axle housing drop until leaf spring tension becomes relaxed. Begin service on the rear shock absorber by removing its set bolts and tightening the bolts to 26 Nm (260 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.) for 2WD models and 71 Nm (730 kgf-cm, 53 ft. lbs.) for 4WD and pre runner models before removing the shock absorber. Verify the shock absorber operation by pushing and pulling on its rod until you detect abnormal resistance or uncommon noises; in cases of detection substitute it with a fresh unit. You should dispose of the shock absorber by extending its rod fully before drilling a hole into the cylinder to vent the gas inside while protecting against chip dispersion from drilling. Installation procedures need to be performed in the opposite direction from which the components were removed.
