Unfortunately I've got a leaking seal so it's time to do some maintenance the bank holiday weekend. To loosen the bottom bolt (M8)on the bottom of fork leg, requires holding the inside damper rod- the usual method is to use a broom handle.
Manual refers to Yam tools (90890) but no idea of what it looks like. From memory I think it's a hex. If I knew the size and shape I could weld something onto a long rod and reach down there.
Has anyone made similar or have any ideas with size and shape help?

^^that's what I did. I had a 1m length of wood about 30mmx20mm. I whittled the last 4inches into a tapered point. Just give it a whack and it wedged in and I could prevent it from turning whiled I shocked the bolt out.
I made a seal seating tool using one bit of split plastic tube inside another with a jubilee clip on the outside

Nice one can you stick up a pic fella, then I can see what it looks like.
