Look i had the same problem, so i took it down to my bike shop and said i can't get the bolt loose. He said to me, with a smirk on his face "we actually use a rattle to loosen it" & they did it for me...worked perfect

What bolt are you talking about? the only allen on my f2 forks is on the top of triple clamp and is easily accessible for a pair of vice grips. Grab onto that outside surface with the vice grips and torque it off. Should take a total of 10 seconds. Am I missing something here?

Yes you are. If you re-read my original post I stated "lower" fork tube. There's an access hole in the bottom of the fork lower where the allen bolt is located. You must remove this to disassemble forks.
