Forks would have to come out and easier is a matter of following directions and comfort assuming you have the tools. I found belts to be quite easy, but they take a little while is all.
I did not want to mess with the forks as I do not have a mounted vise or anything. They were easy to remove (fairing stays on) and I had them completely rebuilt with all new seals/sliders/etc for about $100 for the pair. If you make an appointment you might be able to get them back from the shop the same day and do other stuff to it with the forks out of the way (oil? Coolant? Brakes? ...) .
I like the film cleaning thing and plan to try it. I wonder if there is anyone on this site who has to think about what 35mm film is... I am a hobby photographer so good there.
