What shocks require disassembling the shim stack to change the oil? I've only opened, or helped with, a half dozen different shocks in various configurations (inline, piggyback, upside-down), and all of them allowed changing the oil without taking the stack apart. Only time I've had to take apart the piston stacks for purposes other than changing the shims was to change stroke length.
Not that it coming off in one piece is bad, just genuinely wondering why it's notable re: regular maintenance.
