Default fork removal

looking for some advide on fork removal. Fork in question is a 1999 judy xc.

All instructions say the same thing: "loosen shaft bolt a few turns, and tap with a mallet. shafts will magically come free from lower tubes."

The problem is, that I tapped. Then I tapped more firmly. Now I have worked up to pounding, all with no success, and i have yet to see a single drop of oil come from the bottom of the shaft.

Any thoughts other than "tapping" to free the lower shafts? Thanks in advance.

It's been years since I've overhauled a Judy...but if memory serves you have to 1st remove the top cap which with let you compress the fork all the way...then back the screw out, and tap with a mallot....It should just pop free
