Fork Cylinder Holder
I am rebuilding my forks and the right fork leaking oil. I already asked here and I need the Fork Cylinder Holder to tighten it:

I disassemble mine right on the bike. Carvr helped me. Here's what we did:
Compress the forks using a ratchet type tie-down strap.
Turn bike onto it's side so the oil won't run out when the base valve is removed.
Use an impact driver and 14mm allen to remove the valve.
If you want to further take your forks apart, you can now just loosen the strap, remove the tire and pinch bolts, then slide the fork out of the T clamps.
If you only need to set the shim stack on the base valve, then the method I described will work and it's a fast method.
Hope this helps.

Made the tool costing 0$! Put Quaker State ATF and 5mm spacers it along with my .40 springs.
