Yeah, loosen the top clamp bolt, then the cap (put a bit of rag over it to minimise marring it), then the lower clamp bolt.

Tried the sealmate. Still leaking. With the amount of oil that's come out, I'd rather get it done properly.
When you say loosen the cap, do you mean the bolt under the damping adjuster?
I posted on a fork removal topic recently, probably on the COG site I have done this about 10 times. I find it worth the effort to unbolt the gorn and plastic "chin piece" to improve access to the lower pinch bolts. With the bike on center stand clearance is adequate for removal. Also even with pinch bolts fully loose the lower clam has a grip on the fork. I use a large flat blade screwdriver in the crack to lever it open just enough for the fork to slide right out.
What's the gorn and plastic chin piece?fat finger for horn?

Hi Asif, do not grease the forks when inserting them into the yokes (triple-trees).
If you do, one day you'll hit the brakes and the forks will punch up through the yokes and hit you in the face. :yikes:
Just clean the fork outers carefully and the same for the insides of the yokes.
