    yh i took the bolts out and they only hold on the bottom parts, they might be pressed together as the picture thats in that link shows a set of forks with the top cut off so maby there not supposed to be taken apart.. its all good now tho iv ordered some fresh seals and polished up the legs just need to paint the tubes and bottom pieces then there mint
