First, is this shock rebuildable? And secondly. do you have to remove the skid to get the shock out, or can you unbolt while still in the skid like I did my 03' RX!?

Yes, all Mono susp. shocks are rebuildable.

Remove one of the control rod bolts, the shocks comes out very easy.
 
V34 took a better look at some pictures just now and they are re-buildable :o| :o| :o| :? :? :?Forgive me.

Definitely rebuildable, heck I've revalved one of those shocks so many times this summer it's not even funny! Easiest way to take it out while it's still in the sled.

1-Make or find a stand to go under the rear bumper that will hold the rear of the sled up at the same height as it would sit with no one on the sled.

2-Put the bumper up on the stand.

3-Click the shock in the "soft" position on the tunnel controller.

4-Unhook the cable going from the tunnel controller to the front of the shock.

5-Remove the bolts (using 14mm wrenches) in the front and the rear of the shock and it should slide right out.
