If you do a search on shock rebuild you will find a nice step-by-step with pics that's even better than the manual.
The rebuild is not as good as the new Progressives but it is a world of difference.
If you are leaking air and no sign of oil (trans fluid) then you should look at the connections and not a rebuild. Each connection has an o-ring or it is a compression fit (no o-ring). They are easy to replace and can be found in most hardware stores. In my area Ace hardware works great.
If you can afford it, the Progressives are the best route and will make the ride better than it was when it was original.
