750 slabside fork damper rod tool?


Recommended Posts

Hi Gents, got one off no problem, but the other is stuck. 

Bought a tool from M&P but it didn't work, looks like I need a nut or bolt head on the end of a rod type tool.

Anybody done something similar or know where to buy one?

OK, Haynes manual shows square taper profiled socket but it still turns/slips.  I've seen some pics of a bolt head that is welded to a rod that sits in the damper rod end, 29mm, but I can't find anything like that?

Or borrow an impact gun :P

Just did that :banana:

I don't have impact so i recommend my way..

First i warmed the bottom bolt with (60-80W) soldering iron for about 20 minutes till all gets warm enough to loosen the loctite.

For the other end I got a M16 Nut and glued it to a 10mm socket (you can weld to 2 together), i used 3M Epoxy.

Than I recommend holding the bottom bolt with an Allen key and opening from the top with the wrench.

Good luck..

Actually I was surprised how easy It was this way.
