anyone got the tool that you stick down the fork leg to stop the damper spinning when you trying to undo the allen bolt in the bottom of the leg. I am trying to change a stanchion. Anyone got one I can borrow? Happy to cover costs.
Either that or the recommended work around please!

Martin use a brush handle
if You force it down on the damper rod it is usually sufficent to stop it spinning

that worked! Just got to explain to Mrs S now why her broom has horrid black sludge all down the handle. Should have used one from the garden rather than the kitchen!!
Oops

i use a length of m12 studding with a nut welded to the end,that way the brush handle stays clean when she needs to sweep up after me

She hasn't noticed yet! Not sure what was worse; the smell of old oil or the Gunk i used to try and clean it up......
25 year old fork oil absolutely stinks
