Fork removal

Can anyone direct me to a write up or youtube video on how to remove forks from an electra glide or similar bike. I'm wanting to take them off to get blasted and powder coated. so I would need information on how to drain/replace the oil and remove the springs inside. Thanks for any information.

just a tip if your bike has a radio in it remove the radio the screws are on the side then you can get to the cap bolts to remove the tubes from the Triple tree.

the top nut is a 35 or 36 MM and you will need a 12mm long allen socket 1/2" drive and a impact to remove the piston asy from the lowers.
I'm about to tackle this project on my 13 FLHTK to install the chrome front end
