I think a lot of bikes use Showa forks. Exact instructions on how to disassemble your forks usually comes from a Clymer or Hayes manual, which is make and model specific.
Check out general instructions on the internet for changing fork seals, which entails total disassembly of your front forks. You just stop half way through the process and add powdercoating.
Check with Dan for general instructions. Getting the circlips out was the hardest part for me as you'll need circlip pliers. The bottom hex nut may also be difficult.
