Advice please for Marzocchi xc500 rebuild

[Woz]

use the crown and/or top cap for the stanchion holder.
If you cannot tug it out, then put a bit of oil in, secure the top cap in again and pump it up.
that should separate them. just remember oil may spurt out.

This. Be carefull though and prepare a suitable trajectory zone.

I left it all bolted together and clamped to the bike.
