That's a nice fix, busdriver. Well, as it turns out, Otis' inspiration, uh ....kick in the pants... convinced me that though I'm not likely to use such a tool more than once, maybe twice, I might as well get the old metal lathe cranked up and make some custom fit drivers.
After all, I had the materials laying around and found a suitable length of heavy wall aluminum pipe with a one inch bore to use for the fork crown setting tool. The fork crown remover will be a little more involved. Results with pics to follow.
