The bolt might be an allen cap screw and may be recessed into the fork clamp. Remove the bolt, slide the fork clamp up the lines slightly (might need to break loose with something sharp), slide the hard lines out. Orings might be swollen and tight. I can go out and look at mine to confirm in the morning if you need.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. When I went and look there, the bolt was missing. I can easily put in another bolt if I want to. I use a hammer to lightly bang on that clamp hoping that it will come lose but it is stuck there. It seems like it is welded to the aluminum. I try using using a screw driver to pray it off but no luck. That thing wouldn't even move at all.
I'm going to pick up some new o-rings so I can use some heat on it to see if I separate. I know by using heat, it will destroy the o-rings in there now.
I though this would be an easy replacement job but it seem like it is really stuck in there.
