On the GT it wasn’t actually that much if a job to get the forks out - bike on centre stand, handlebars ratchet strapped to the garage roof, front wheel out, calipers off, side panels off then the two nuts on the ball joints, pretty much. Around 2 hours to get it all off, another hour to put it all back, provided you have the right tools - 50 and 55 mm spanners and sockets really help for the ball joints.
