8mm Hex head "spline" to borrow?

[sam anon]

I All,

I'm trying to get my forks apart to get the lowers powder-coated.

I can't get the 8mm Allen head out of the bottom of the forks. I have the impact driver and hammer, but no "straight" allen key. It need to be about 70mm long.

Do any of you helpful and generous lot have one I could borrow to get my forks apart?

so is it just a 8 mm allen key u need?

Oh hi,

It was, but I've done it now! I cut the long end of an old allen key of mine, stuck one end in a 8mm socket, and it came off with the ratchet.

Have you been to any TV meets recently? I didn't go last night (forks off!)
