Yes the strut man when he did mine put them in a steel tube and pressurized it with nitrogen. I saw the nitrogen bottle connected to it.
It was a homemade setup. Steel tube with screw on cap.
Put struts in the tube pressurize and gas is forced past the o rings.
It is harder to reduce the pressure in the strut apparently
