Bob,
Just remove the two top nuts like you said and the whole thing will slide
out the bottom. No need to mess with the big nut on the bottom at all.

Had to replace the front tire so I decided to grease the head stock
bearings. I have stripped down the front end and ready to remove the front
forks as a complete assembly, is this possible? My plan is to remove the two
spanner type nuts on the top of the stem and drop everything down and then
out, is this possible? Do I have to remove the large nut on the bottom of
the stem to get to the bearings? Does everything just slide out the bottom?
I have the factory manual but no really good info on what happens next. No
leaks on the shocks so I'm going to just replace the oil. I'm considering a
single weight motor oil, 40wt(detergent or non-detergent) or should I stick
with fork oil only?
