Re: front forks
Shove a broom handle up to stop them spinning

Re: front forks
Or if that doesn't work, a powered (air or electric) impact driver

Re: front forks
Theres a way you can keep the fitted & use the axle rod to stop them from spinning to crack it. It's on my thread for overhauling them.

Re: front forks
The broom handle technique didn't work for me. I got a 12v impact wrench off eBay and it worked effortlessly. It has a lighter socket attachment too so it's in the car incase I get a flat. Not bad for £20 ish quid

Re: Removing damper rod bolt - how?
The only thing I dont think anyone has mentioned about the broom handle is to chamfer the end a little so it wedges in. But eaiser to use an impact driver or drill with hammer action I found worked.
