I've got a set of gold valves coming from FRP for my 2003 KDX200, so I had to remove the valve assemblies from the bottom of the forks.  I did a search to see what tools I would need.  I liked the cylinder holder method better than the impact wrench, so I needed a cylinder holder and a 14mm hex wrench.  The JustKDX site has a diagram for the cylinder holder.  I had some scrap 1" OD pipe here at work, so I just needed a 27mm nut to weld on the end and a 14mm hex socket.  McMaster-Carr (330-995-5500) delivers next day to work, so I use them.  I ended up getting a 5/8-11 (27mm=1.063") flange nut, because I could buy just one of them and the flange OD helps line up the tool.  The diagram calls for an ID of 5/8 or greater, so I opened up the nut to 5/8, but it may have still worked with the threads.

Here's the parts list:
91030A035  5/8-11 flanged nut  $2.20
5571A71  14mm hex socket, 1/2" drive  $10.10
5522A33  3/8-1/2" drive adapter  $3.91 (for my torque wrench)

Sorry, that was longer than I thought.  Everything worked fine and the forks are apart.  Couldn't believe how much oil was still in there even after draining and pumping.
