The top caps should unscrew giving access to the plastic spacers and springs. You then need to undo the cap head bolts in the bottom of the legs, but not all the way out, and then tap them to release the internal taper. You should then be able to pull them apart (once you've finally taken the bolts out! ).
I would say that all the oil will come out when you undo the bolts, but it will be long gone by now.
I've got to say, taking them apart makes it much easier to get them in the bin.

I just don't like Poxshox forks, but that's just a personal prejudice along the lines of "they're the cycling equivalent of Microsoft and should burn, BURN, BURN!!!
[cough!] sorry.
Anyhoo. For reasons that I will not enter into; I have a pair of said Hydrocoils that I have stripped and rebuilt.
The oil goes in from the top as far as I know. Type and quantity is something I know not. (Not got round to that yet!).
www.angryasian.com is usually a good source for that type of info though.

Here yer go and despite what the manual says put 120cc of 5wt oil in each leg.
They are in fact decent forks, probably the best of the pre SRAM era.
2000/01 was their best year which worked nicely unlike the earlier ones that blew their cartridges and the later air assisted ones which suffered from quality control problems

Lots of good info. Hopefully have a nice slick set of forks at the end of it.Which reminds me, cherrybomb would it be possible to take you up on your generous offer of the brake cable stop fork mount thing, next time your at hawk cycles? Please don't feel obliged, though I will talk behind your back

Sure. It gives me an excuse to go shopping.
I'll pop in on Monday.
(It might be worth reminding me again tomorrow. )
