Good find! I am reinstalling mine on Saturday and will give this method a shot.

Sure you can, Elin. Anybody can do it. Just straddle the seat (feet on the ground), hold your front brake lever, and push forward. The forks will compress. I don't believe it's necessary to fully bottom out the forks. Just do that 2 or 3 times and you're good to go.
