Does anyone know the bolt size to use on the special tool to hold the inner fork tube while removing the bottom alen bolt?

Hex size of 27mm is what you need to make a tool...

Would that be an M18 nut?

Thanks. That sounds right. I made a tool with a 21mm nut as was suggested in the previous reply and it just went right through.

It is such a PITA from Kawasaki that it used this size for the bike since I can see from the web searches that it is 21mm for most of the Japanese bikes.
