Z650 Part

I'm in the process of dismantling my Z650 front forks and can't stop the damper from spinning while turning the allen head bolt at the bottom of the lower fork leg...therefore, I could really do with either borrowing or buying the adapter piece that holds the damper in place. The part no is 57001-1011.
Would appreciate it if anyone can help.

Whittle the end of a broom handle at about 45degs.... leave a blunt end about size of a 5pence, then ram it down the fork onto the damper.... Clamp the broom handle in a vice and undo the bolt

I found with my z650 forks a impact driver (as keefleef suggested) was all I needed - 5 seconds each and all sorted. Got to be worth popping into a local garage...
gator grip is what you need!

What you need is a Gator grip socket they are cheap and it looks like a spark plug sicket and has loads of roller like needles inside that will grip a rounded nut.
I have found these better than the proper kawasaki tool.
