Here's Another Substitute Option for the Yamaha Fork Damper Rod Holder and T-Handle


Recommended Posts

Here are the existing tools and hardware I had that I was able to put together for holding the fork damper rod.

 

 

  • The 15/16" nut fit into the top of the damper rod quite nicely.
  • The longer bolt and two nuts (versus one) were enough to fill up the socket and still be long enough to fit into the damper rod head.
  • Hand-tightening the nuts is fine for installing and tightening the damper rod bolt. To keep the nuts from coming loose while removing the damper rod bolt, I hammered them onto the bolt with an air hammer.
  • The Craftsman 15/16" socket walls were thin enough to fit inside of the inner fork tube.
  • I put enough extensions together to reach to the damper rod.
  • Once I was done tightening the damper rod bolt, I retrieved the bolt/nut tool with a magnet or just dumped it out.
