Default Rear suspension service

Can someone help me with a rear suspension service on my 09?
Cant really find much information on part lists. Is chatgpt right, or?

When I installed my Racetech piston kit/valving in my '12, it was a simple system to overhaul. The only specialized equipment needed was a hypodermic needle adapter to vent/pressurize the reservoir.
I just used a bicycle suspension pump to fill the bladder and it's been perfect for over a decade.

So, this is what I found so far. All ball racing seems to have some parts.

When I did my rear suspension work, I used All ***** and Pivot Works parts for the swingarm pivot and linkage bearings and seal. Don't forget the shock oil(2.5 wt).
Everything you've highlighted will replace all of the wear components for the shock. Look at the swingarm bearings as well.

Since you are opening shock I would also change piston band and piston oring. Or even put racetech gold valve kit. Well worth $150.
