How to Safely Remove Forks from Your Mountain Bike
To remove forks from a mountain bike, first, loosen the stem cap and bolts holding the stem to the top of the fork. Then, remove the front wheel and brake caliper from the fork. Next, remove the spacers from the headset above the stem and slide the stem off the fork tube. Finally, remove the headset bearing assembly from the top of the fork and then slide the fork out of the head tube.
