With others I use you pump the piston up and down before topping off the oil, but presumably I can't do that with these, so do I just brim them before screwing the bottom assembly on?

Pretty much!
- Fill the body up to just above the first thread inside
- put the cartridge in and tighten until a couple of threads are left.
- push the shock shaft in slowly to the bottom (and let the shock bleed oil)
- finally nip up the cartridge
- check the balljoint can bottom on the cartridge... if it doesn't loosen the cartdridge and bleed a little more oil.
Hope that helps
