You'll need the two sizes of Castle nut tool but you can get a cheap double ended one on Ebay that does the job well.
Then you have to hope that the long bolt that goes right through the frame and through the two bosses the back of the front cylinder, isn't too seized and comes out easily.

But take it easy and check that everything is disconnected before taking out the last bolts and it's all doable.
Take photos!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
