I would look on You tube you might find a good how too.

Cautionary note here: removing the screw in the bottom may require an impact wrench on an extended hex key. The screw has a shallow head so it is easy to strip out. Drilling out this bolt would not be fun. If the bolt spins but doesn't come out, the cartridge inside is spinning. The top cap must then be removed, the spring taken out and the Triumph tool or suitable replacement used to hold the cartridge from turning while removing the bottom screw completely.

Try the short cut but only if you have the means to perform step two because if the bolt spins you must get it out. Can't tighten, can't remove, and it won't hold oil.

I have used the short method successfully on some but then had to resort to the standard method on other forks. No way to predict how it will go.

Since you have no use for them other then to tinker I could use a good right fork lower

Looks pretty familiar except yours are missing a spring in each of and the adjustable goodies

As you can see in the photos above, one of these forks is bent (I knew this when I bought them) unfortunately it's the R/H one.
I did set the lower up in the lathe, that has about a 2mm bend in it, I guess it could be straightened tho'

The more I learn about these forks the more I want to change the springs to Progressive.

Large, noticable improvement!
