I need to get hold of a fork tool which holds an internally fluted 'nut' in place whilst I iunscrew the bottom seal bolt.
ANyone seen one or got one?
They are 65 quid for what looks like a manhole lifter with a nut welded on!
I know I can make one with a threaded bar and a few nuts on it, but I dont know the size of the head inside - looks like a 17mm head on a nut would do it?
I have heard of people jamming brush shanks down into the leg but i dont really want to fill my forks with chippings!
ANy thoughts?
Scan of problem child below...
its the fork damper holder that I need (or need to make!)

) so a brush steel isn't such a bad idea. What will help you the most though is a windy gun, or even a hammer drill to get it moving.When (if 
) you get the damper rod out of one of the legs, you can then make up something for the other/ future. For the TY's I've used a length of bright bar with a slot cut in one end to fit over the flats on the damper rod, and a square on the other for a spanner.
