I took mine off my eglide by only removing the front fairing, the front wheel, fender and calipers, loosen the pinch bolt on the lower tree, and if necessary, tap a straight screwdriver in the slot to open the lower tree....should drop right out...if not retread the cap nuts half way and tap on them..
