Flushing out shocks

I grabbed a couple of houdalle shocks at the National. Does it make any sense to flush them out with carb cleaner? One moves; the other barely.
 
I use hyd. jack oil in mine. back off the adjustment to softest position and cycle oil thru them, dump and repeat. refill and adj. to desired stiffness.
 
I want to flush mine.
Looking at the shock with the lever faceing me which way do I drain and flush?
Will the adjustment fitting unscrew?
I need some help here,
Thanks
