Removal of W126 hydraulic rear struts

SO, I found a parts car at the local pick n pull for my '86 560SEL and decided today to pull the struts in case they were any good and I could use them in the future. I started by unbolting them from inside the trunk and then from underneath. Once they were freed from the bolts I noticed the fluid pouring out of the first one. I gave up an assumed I broke it or it was already broken.

The point to all is this is to find out the proper removal technique and also if that particular strut was bad or damaged because of the fluid running out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
