are they tech forks or Showa?

Showa strip down is in the manual I think which is available PDF if you search forums.

I had a good tip from Munch at M sport for tech fork info as the tech web site  has full strip down info etc

A spanner should be fine, they shouldn't be that tight, if the forks are still on the bike while your trying to loosen the top caps make sure you've undone the top yoke bolts first.

Indeed! Very important and often forgotten.

The caps only have a 4 sided square section, doubt a standard socket would fit unless you had a special one?

I've always used a regular spanner and never damaged one yet, usually they only get damaged when the yokes haven't been backed off first.
