    Get an electric impact from Harbor Freight.
    Keep the fork caps on and use the spring in the fork to keep things from spinning.
    Heat the bolt just a tad and hit it with the impact.
    Works everytime for me.

      Agreed, that is how I do them , leave the cap and spring in while removing the bolt. Hit it with an impact they come right out . I may have had 1 in 50 give me a problem .

      “Remember When in doubt use full throttle, It may not improve the situation ,but it will end the suspense ,
      If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing
