I am looking for what dimension bolt head will fit into the end of the damper rod inside the front fork so I can loosen and remove the socket head capscrew found at the bottom of the lower fork. There is a specific tool from Yamaha that can be inserted to prevent the damper assembly, but I have also heard that you can just make your own with some large metric bolts and nuts. I just need to know what size bolts and nuts.
