Hi guys,

So I've been a little busy..

Does anyone here know how I can 'safely' remove the front forks from the tripples in the picture below? I want to get the frame powder coated, but need to get these off first..

The bike/frame is a '85 - I want to ride it in the VMX. The only issue is that I can't find on the interwebs what kind of front sus this is, so I'm worried that by removing the nut at the top, I'll lose an eye when a spring JUMPS out at me?

Advice welcome :)
