Did a similar thingy.
machined a T fork tube cap to fit in the top clamp. drilled the center and
put in a sert to accept a big hardened allen bolt. used that way gave the
puller something to work with when busting the forks out of the top clamp.
('twas a mofo, 'twas)
then to reassemble, I cleaned up the fork tubes real nice. and then cleaned
out the insides of the lower tree. then I cleaned it again. fork tubes slid
in almost far enough. a fewgood whacks with a deadblow on the fork lower and
the tube was up high enough. then I used a machined cup (like the one for
setting the main seal) with the hollow side out, I threaded a longer
hardened bolt to the machined plug and used it to draw the fork tube to the
clamp. still not high enough so I then flipped the cup over and used the
bolt to draw the tube up level with the top of the top clamp hole.
bingo.
