    Its super easy if you have an air impact wrench. Put the fork bottom in a vise and put some pressure on the fork tube to compress it. This will hold the piece the allen screw on the bottom of the fork screws into so when you unscrew it, it wont just spin. After that the chrome tube will slide out and its straight forward from there.
