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.

Y 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.
