Seems like a common thread. Have the triple tree exposed, looking to remove for tubes. Have the top bolt out and the two triple tree pinch bolts. The cow bells are loose as well. They arent budging. Is the another bolt that Im not seeing? Whats the secret to remove the fork tubes?

 

Spread the slots in the bottom triple tree where the pinch bolts are supposed to tighten with a pry bar or similar tool and shoot some pb blaster or wd -40 around the tube and the bottom triple tree and wiggle them loose.

 

It should come off.

They are a close fit in the top and bottom of the trees. Little PB Blaster and wait for it to penetrate. The cowbells don't hold anything on. Decoration only.

 

PB blaster...use a strap wrench if needed.

 

pb blaster is the best
