For the seized triple clamp bolts, make sure you DON'T take them out 1 at a time. For best results loosen them all evenly 1/4 to 1/2 turn at a time (the ones that are next to each other) otherwise it leaves so much pressure on the remaining screw(s) that they will feel seized. So hopefully yours aren't seized. Run the removed bolts back in and tighten them up then see if the "seized" ones will come out. I'm unsure if other triple clamps are the same as the Ohlins. WP's and Zokes share the same top clamp, not sure of the bottom and I'm unsure where the Ohlins fits in. Good luck.
btw, try not to damage the bolts if they are the 7mm hex head. You can't buy them from hardare stores!
