Trying to dismantle the forks on my 2010 AJS EOS so that I can separate them from the frame. Have removed the four clamping collets from the top and bottom yokes and whilst the side indicator bolts into the lower yoke are corroded are bust off I have drilled out one of them to try and make sure that don't go through the lower yoke into the fork shaft so securing it in place.

Clearly the collets were heavily corroded and I think the forks are also probably corroded in the yokes but have been gently heating the yokes over the last few days and injecting the area with WD40 to try and loosen them up. This hasn't helped.

Don't understand the function of the top nuts going into the top of each fork tube as these sit inside the top yoke so are not part of holding the fork tubes in the yokes. Obviously removed the centre stem nut. Tried using a large puller on the yokes to try and remove the top yoke but still not shifting.

Has anybody ever dismantled one of these forks before ?. Any advice on how they come apart ?.

Thanks in advance.
