What make are they? I would guess the only place that would touch them would be the manufacturer themeselves.
What make you so sur they need re-gassing though? It's usually difficult to tell if they need it unless they are leaking all over the place in which case you need a rebuild any how.
Gas in the dampers simply keeps the oil resevior under pressure to prevent it from 'frothing' (aerating) under fast damping situations and thus retaining it's optimum damping characteristics.
I'm sure you knew that, I'm just waffling
I've had experience with Bilstein, GAZ, Leda shocks and all were rebuildable but only by themselves
