Suspension & Steering

Great tool

I needed to do seals on my '05 WR450F. While I've seen videos of how you can tighten up the lower bolts without one of these tools, it makes things soo much easier. There isn't much to it - just a tube with 4 prongs on the end that fit in to the top of the damper, and a removable cross bar. One end is machined down smaller than the other, presumably for smaller forks with smaller damper rods. If I remember right either end fit in the WR. It was a little tricky for one person to hold the tool and get the proper torque on the retainer bolt at the same time, but I was able to do it by holding it down on the bench with one hand while turning the torque wrench with the other. If I hadn't been too lazy, I could have clamped it in a vice or gotten a helper to hold it still and it probably would have been easier. Overall a nice tool to have in your kit if you do a lot of fork maintenance.
