Nice! That sounds simple! I actually just got everything off the bike and about to get the new forks on. Went to some stores earlier and they didn't just have a simple caliper. So I said F it, im gonna do one side at a time. I was able to use a small hydraulic jack to get the from wheel just so slightly spinning with some pushing - only took a couple of small pumps on the jack. My plan was to take one fork off, put the other one on, then put the wheel on and slide the axle through, then clamp the fork down. Then repeat for the other fork.

I'll see how that goes - otherwise I'll do your suggested method.

Thanks so much - you're the man!
