Default Lower slider removal

So I'm planning on getting the lower slider powder coated. As I look at the instructions in the service manual for front fork removal, the instructions are as if you're remove the complete forks starting at the top and totally disassembling them. Is there a way to remove just the lower sliders without totally disassembling the entire forks?

you can do it, but it's terribly inconvenient.... best to just remove the pinch bolts ....and slide the tubes out.... place said tubes in vice in some original and creative way, and then follow the rest of the instructions that the service manual lays out

I look at the manual, and think "this is waaaaayyy complicated". Then I look at the bike and think "piece of cake". Back to the garage.........

I swapped out the sliders on an 06 street bob, and I followed the service manual. I was pretty easy and straightforward.
