[QUOTE="street, post: 1453617, member: 98854"] We got the bolt out and dealership admits that they were lying. They also popped off the fork protector which shop manual says don't. What I did was drilled a hole in a 2' plank at one end. Removed the damper adjustment knob and stuck the damper adjustment shaft into the hole. Tipped the fork and put tie down hooks into the caliper bolts. Stood on the board and tilted the fork upright. The ties downs compressed the fork about 3 or 4". Used an impact wrench and bolt came out. No muscle power I'll repeat process so I can torque the bolt down, but I'll have a helper hold the fork so I can use a torque wrench. [/QUOTE]
