1974 Ty250 Fork Piston Removal

Trying to remove the piston from my front forks. I believe I need to hold the top of the piston while unbolting from the bottom. My 175 has a stub and I customized a socket to hold it. The 250, as well as I can see, has no stub and my tool does nothing. Does anyone know a good method to hold the top of the piston?

Thanks,

Best way for me is: using a rattle gun with the fork assembled, I give i a couple of shot to '' unlock '' the buttom allen without completely removing it, and than, I strip it . It alway's work.

If memory serves me correct I measured the flats on top of the damper rod as being 10mm across.

Pulled my forks apart with a rattle gun as well, think I may have ended up shoving a broom handle inside in place of the springs & leaning on things to stop the damper rod spinning while undoing
