Answer 3

assuming the front tire is suspended ( or off the bike ) and the bike properly supported. remove all the bolts that hold the forks in place you can apply some wd40 and let is saok in between the fork tube and the clamps. also you can try very gently spreading the clamps apart with a sturdy flat blade screwdriver and twisting the fork tube... good luck

Answer 4

Thats the way they come out dude, hammer them out. Their forks man, they can take a pounding. Your mallet will not damage them.
