Yes. And?A sundial is just a stick in the mud.
To be honest I am surprised at how good the condition is.Fucked them already! The faecal touch strikes again.

I'll put the crunt of an Allen key in a vice to turn it with the fork if I have to. Just need to know for sure it's an anticlockwise turn

Don't prepare for fuckwits thread, this will play out all goodThis is going to be good ...
All puffed up and no oomph!Don't prepare for fuckwits thread, this will play out all good
I'm not sure gentle is in the freaks capacity.do up the small pinch bolt, (your 3rd pic) then undo the axle bolt with a real allen key, then loosen pinch bolt completely, leave the axle bolt in a few threads and give it a hit with a soft hammer. Corrosion is probably holding it all together. if you need you can lightly tap a flat screwdriver into the gap where the pinch bolt is to open it up a bit
No way! Drop the nose and race line our of the stairsDear god. Drop your heels and put on a helmet. You can’t afford to get uglier, @safreek

To be honest I had been thinking of vinegar, had a set of marz with the crome looking finish, stanchions had surface rust and it pulled them up near new.I'm not sure gentle is in the freaks capacity.
First off, on my monsters (much newer than these though) the pinch bolts sat flush in the fork...these may be an after market repair. Or they may just be as unrefined as an Italian car or motorcycle.
Flo the bike upside down, loosen the pinch bolts, start pumping the wd-40 or whatever brand not lube bbit cleaner you prefer into the opening on both sides, let it get in good and deep (I know deep isn't your specialty) then keep pumping it in...for a long time (again not one of your known skills, bit try it!)... alternatively someone on here (perhaps the duck) once ecomended vinegar as a gentle acid to break the bind caused by corrosion. Anyway once it is really well and truely pumped full off something that will break down that bind get your Allen key into the hole as far as it will penetrate, yep further than you normally achieve. Then take a nice long piece of pipe that snuggles onto your Allan key and create an extension lever. You may want a second person for this...you need to hold the bike down hard. Stand on he bars, push down on the BB shell, etc. And you pull hard and firm on that extension pipe (I use an old seat post or handle bars) until it goes CRACK and you shit your pants that you've busted something.
VERY VRY VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT!!!!!
DO NOT JERK THE BAR! DO NOT HOT THE BAR! DO NOT TAP THE BAR! just lean into with those big old arms and your shiny arse glazed donut hands. It should eventually give out or your tear the head tube off. Either way...what a win!
Do not jerk it.
Set up go pro
