Forks - straight forward as noted earlier. Only question is on the right side of the front axle is the pentagon shape inside the axle.

I have a bolt with two nuts that all have a 19mm head. I have used that with a wrench for the vexing female front axle. But Really, I've rarely needed it, since things don't get screwed down overly tight up there. A 19mm hex key would work. But then there's this nifty gizmo available in lightweight trail version or heavyweight shop version.

Suddenly, I lust for both of them.
