Saturday at 02:59 PM1 day How do I stop the fork damper rod spinning as I try to tighten the bottom bolt after an oil change? Tried to jam some copper pipe down the inside of the fork leg but no joy. I can'tsee what nut or fitting is inside or I would make something. Thanks.Ps. Ive had the forks well compressed with a ratchet strap, I need something inside the fork.
15 hours ago15 hr Push the fork into the ground to compress the spring a bit and use an impact driver.

Spend money on tools for the job or struggle , its your choice .
