Need help ZRX 1100 fork seals.

Fork seals are leaking on son in laws bike and we decided to change then out ourselves

. Everthing went without a hitch until we tried to remove the bottom end damper allan bolt everything just turns. I reseached fixes but seem confused by some of the special tools how can you put one down the opposite tube end when there is a rod sticking out. Duh not feeling really intelligent today. We did a lot of research before tackling this.

put the spring etc. back in and use an impact wrench on the allen end (hold fork upside down while compressing it)

The Kawasaki Special Tool is C in the centre pic.
It's basically a tube with a Hex driver one end and a square on the other end, You remove the nut from the end of the damper tube and slide the tool down until it locatates at the bottom then attach a spanner 24mm i think on the other end and with an allen key on the bottom of the leg you undo !!
The pic is a ZRX1200 but the 11 is the same ..
