You can tip the forks up now and drain into a container,at first the oil was clean then it soon came out dirty,after a while tip forks up and pump dampers up and down to get oil from cartridges,,a few times,,tip out oil,leave them to drain overnight if possible.

Now you have to cmpress the springs to expose the locknut on the top cap, the are two holes predrilled in the spring plastic spacer, you have to locate two pegs in these and pull towards the other end of the forks.
I now have to make a tool for this, i looked at the problem and decided my best pressure tool here was my trolley jack,
so i made a clamp tool and a rearward locating peg and screwed it to the solid wooded post in the workshop.

This will then expose the locknut , you can then insert the previosly made clip tool to put under the lucknut to stop it disappearing into the forks
