VF500 fork ATF replacement help and advice needed

Is there an easier way to replace the fork ATF without tearing down the forks as per the Honda manual?? The ATF in this bike is probably 10 years old and has been sitting.

I cannot find any ref to a drain bolt or another way of getting the old stuff out.

Thanks

 

On the underside of the fork (you can't see it while the forks are on the bike cause the front axle is blocking it) there is a hex bolt which should drain the fluid.

Though this will not get it all out and with the age of the forks you should take them apart and replace the seals inside anyways.
