Pulling the forks really shouldn't be all that hard, a motorcycle jack or some kind of stand that gets the front tire completely off the deck would be essential though. One of the hassles though, will be getting the tools to undo the pinch bolts and the axle itself. I ended up using a bolt that had the head as a perfect fit into the LH axle end, along with hex bit sockets for the other side of the axle and the pinch bolts. Once you get the brake calipers un-mounted, the front tire off, and the fender off, then you should be able to loosen the pinch bolts on the triple tree yokes and slide the forks out. If you don't have access to a vice, you'll probably have some problems re-fastening the cap on top of the stanchion after you've changed the oil. You'll also need the little gizmo fork oil measuring tool. It's a lot of stuff, but really shouldn't be all that hard if you access to the stuff you need.
