Re: BIG PROBLEM
use a blow torch, heat the lower fork around the bolt on the thread side then use a cold chisel and a hammer to loosen the bolt, put the chisel on the outside of the bolt head and tap it round anticlockwise.
if that doesn't work you could try to spread the fork with a small chisel where the pinchbolts hold it.
Hope this helps
