R75/5 Rear Shocks

I would like to disassemble the rear shocks on my R75/5. I am wondering if there is a tool available to compress the spring or if some might share how to do it manually. Nothing wrong with them other that I want to take them apart and polish them up....Thanks Jef

What brand of shocks are they? AFAIK, some of rebuildable and some you have to destroy to get them apart.

There are a number of ways to skin this cat with home made compressor devices; Snowbum shows this on his website:
