Hey Rich, I just took a look at that special tool. It actually has a tapered square tip. Clearly designed to fit more than one size damper rod.

I can also see other uses for that shape tip. I just may spring for the $18.00 and buy that thing.

See attached picture.

Since the recess in the top of my damper rod is round and no hex shape of any size will lock into it, I ended up making my own tool similar to the Suzuki tool from a broken broom handle. Worked like a charm. Fork Seals done!
