There is a plastic cap that pops off the tops of the fork tubes. After that is removed, then you can insert the 1/2 inch drive end from a rachet into the top of the fork tube plug and screw it out. Then you loosen the fork clamps (after having removed the brakes, front fender, front wheel, etc.) and with a turning/twisting motion, pull the front forks out of the clamps...at the same time, you'll be removing them from the air connection (phrased another way, you must remove your fork tubes to remove the air connection). This is actually well illustrated in the factory shop manual.
