Thanks Tony hi, you need a 6 or 8mm long reach allen key , prefereably one you can use on a air gun to spin the bolts out, this will allow the tops and bottoms to be separated,

I need to remove the fork bottoms because they are damaged. the screw i am refering to is about 5mm and its on the inside of each fork bottom. It looks like a torx screw, i've tried all my bits and none fit.
