There's Howards write-up and may I refer you to page 2: For Howard explaining how to use the floor, a ratchet and your own weight
And image x: https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/a05b2809c74949e19b290d153933a457e336565b.jpg
You can see in the image there's a square socket driver hole: You need to use a socket wrench in that. (3/8). Then use Howards Method on page two to turn the Castle Tool (which you can buy in Germany for £45)
If your fork is still fine, you can save yourself the bother. But if you take the top cap off with a pin spanner and it looks dry, or if it doesn't move well, you may have to. Judgement call :)

So how goes the fork disassembly? That's what I need to start on my F700, so keen to see what's lurking inside...
