Since they are fastened with an adhesive, what do you do when you need to get them off the next time?

If your removing the fork nuts you want all the tension off the fork springs

Silly question, but wouldnt those be "Caps" or "Bolts"? Nuts have threads on the inside. Granted...the post title wouldnt be near as funny tho

I use goop household glue on mine it is basically a very strong rubber glue comes off with a pry of a flat head screw driver and then can completely remove the excess glue. Yes you need to take the pressure off the front of the bike to install
