Yes, refurbed mine and they are fine with no issues. As a rough guide I stripped-down the dampers completely, removed all old grease, drilled and tapped each leg for grease nipples, packed each leg with red and tacky grease, then reassembled and pumped in more grease via the nipples.

No specialist tools apart from coil spring compressors and a tap and die set.
