Remove fork tube from lower casting M600

Hi, I have a 1997 M600 and one of the fork stanchions is badly pitted. I can get it rechromed but it looks like it's cheaper (and possibly easier) just to get a new fork stanchion e.g. this one - https://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/du...anchion-94-97/

My question is, how easy is it to get the casting off the bottom of the old stanchion and replace it on the new one? I can't see any pinch bolts etc holding it in place, is it threaded? Or is it push fit? Will I need loads to heat to remove it?

Can't find anything really relevant on the internet, has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Jim
