On the side note: What is this "Inside the lower cylinder is a pin with a small spring and a silver tapered cap. These will fall out once you pull the fork apart" that the OP mentioned? I didn't see it in any of his pictures. Is it easy to put back. I don't want to lose it when I pull the fork out.
You need to unload the forks first, which means getting that front wheel off the ground. The best way is with a triple tree head stand. Also, you can use a $10 puller tool from the plumbing section of Lowe's to do it without pushing down at all.
