This isn't just applicable to the Fox F32, you can use what you learned on any fork. Only difference is maybe your fork doesn't have the little foam ring.
If you've got 20 minutes (for the first attempt) and some mechanical inclination, give it a go, it is worth it. And if something goes wrong, you can just do the walk of shame and bring in your separated fork to the bike shop.
(FYI, this is also good if you popped your wipers off while on a ride and jammed them back in with a tire lever)
