Sheldon has good info for rear forkend but not for front fork. Maybe some good bike shop would do it for me?
Edit: uh so you do it just with bare hands? First one side and then the other one? Well I guess that could work too..
In the end, I elected not to cold set the fork to 100. I just have to spread them to install the wheel. It's no biggie to do that as seldom as I remove the wheel. So don't think that you have to do it. I rode a century on that bike last October! Glad my old post still gets action!
