The guy demostrates quite well why i dont do this at 1:44, oops screwdriver straight into your stanchion! That'll be £200 please.
Better to take the lowers off and clean them properly than risk introducing crud into the internals of the fork.

This bloke is an idiot, turn the bike upside down and pop the lowers off.
