I took mine apart with a pipe wrench. But first I wrapped the
chrome sleeve with some aluminum house flashing and a thick rag to
prevent
any scoring of the chrome. My forks were not in pristine shape anyway so
I
could live with a scratch or two. Also the sleeves were not rusted onto
the
forks.

Now I would replace the pipe wrench with my chain ViceGrip. The
chain put even pressure on a tube/pipe so there is less chance of
bending
thin walled tubes/pipes.

Not wanting to purchase the tool from MG, I found a length of pipe and
fabricated a substitute tool. It failed miserably. So, I gave Gordon and

Rick a call and their version worked great. There was no way a strap was

going to work on mine. YMMV.
