Before loosening the bottom triple clamp, I placed a crate under the ends of the fork so it wouldn't drop out. They are fairly heavy. The bolt is 14mm, and very tight. |

Alright! The forks are out and moved to the side. You can now remove the headlight ears. |

(Above) I supported the triple-tree with a board before undoing its tension head cap. My reason for this is because I want to make sure there is no stress near the end of the treads. That can lead to a real hassle and cross-threading. Again I used my half inch cold chisel to remove the tension cap. |

The bottom of the triple-tree and stem should come out with minimal force. The bottom bearing is pressed into place and remains with the tree, and you can also see a retainer that sets just under the top bearing came out too. |
