    Anyone know how to get the double nut at the top of the forks off? It's Not shaped in a way to get a wrench on it, Looks like you're supposed to use a hammer and screwdriver but it makes me nervous...

    there's a thing called a spanner wrench that's the proper tool, or the large channel locks or the hammer and screwdriver that i use.
    tightening them is another story

    I got it loose, hammer and screwdriver style. Guess what!?!? Ball bearings fall out and roll all over the garage when you drop the forks out, lol. I love my magnet...
