Support the rear wheel (with a cinder block, 4x4, pile of lumber scraps, whatever) when you remove the front wheel, or the entire bike+jack might tip back.
Removing the forks is easy, as mentioned, and you'll be able to measure the oil to the correct height. 135-140mm from the top of the tube is a good starting point. It also gives you the opportunity to re-torque those critical bolts.
By the way, only make the caps snug, don't even attempt any torque; the o-rings provide the seal, and the fine aluminum threads are delicate. Press down evenly with a 22mm socket and start them gently and carefully.
