Just be careful, I just remembered that I managed to get the lowers OFF my forks just fine, it was putting them back on that was the issue. There's an allen-headed bolt in the bottom of each lower leg which you can unscrew fairly easily (it's recessed about a centimetre), but the bolt threads into an allen-headed nut thingy in the bottom of each upper leg.
I was able to unscrew mine from the bottom, but then when I came to reassemble the fork, I had to borrow several extension bars (the sort you get in socket sets) and an allen key "socket" that went on the end, then string all the extension bars together to get enough length to tighten the bolt.
