Place an oil pan beneath the fork to catch any draining fluid.
Insert a 5 mm hex wrench into the one of the shaft bolts. Use a
plastic mallet to firmly strike the wrench and free the bolt from the
lower leg. Remove the shaft bolt from the lower leg. Repeat this
procedure for the other shaft bolt.

Firmly pull the lower legs downward until fluid begins to drain.
Remove the lower leg from the fork by pulling it downward,
holding onto both legs or the brake arch.
If the lower legs do not slide out of the upper tubes or if fluid
doesn’t drain from either side, the press fit of the shaft(s) to the
lower leg may still be engaged. Reinstall the shaft bolts 2 to 3 turns
and repeat the previous step.
NOTICE
Do not hit the brake arch with any tool when removing the lower
leg as this could damage the fork.
7
Spray isopropyl alcohol on the inside and outside of the lower leg.
Wipe the outside of the lower leg with a rag.
Wrap a rag around a long dowel and insert it into the lower leg to
clean the inside of each lower leg.
