Opened my first lever shock. Those end caps were on very tight and I had to use a pipe wrench to get them off. No jack oil inside, but not dried out. Piston moves freely back and forth. The return side has a small valve plate held in with a spring and C-clip. The compression side has a spring loaded valve. I need to pick up some spray cleaner and maybe some little brushes. There is a welsh plug with a screw under it that holds the piston, but I don't think I'll be removing that.
