Shockblades have got to be the simplest forks in the world next to rigids and should not need a diagram.
Take the top caps off, get a long allan key and undo the bolts at the bottom of the legs then pull apart. Only thing you'll find inside are elastomers, there are no springs.
I had a set once, they suffered badly fom stiction and even when working only moved when you hit something really hard. Little better than a flexstem with precious little extra travel. In their favour they looked good and being alloy were little heavier than a rigid steel fork.
Have fun..............Cheers
