Mike if it's the same as the Rm 125 -  "B"   It's a external fit
with 2  flat sides 19mm long and 19 mm apart top & bottom  is 1/4 round being  24 mm apart

125 B


250 - 370

250 370 is a little smaller
flat sides 8mm long  and 12mm apart     top and bottom round 1/4 round being 14mm apart

sorry for hijacking, but would those measurements be the same for 125 a ?, can't seem to fnd info anywhere

[oldfart]

sorry Reg, I am unable to answer that question.

Don't have a photo or drawing Oldie ?
Looking down the tubes I am seeing a hollow damper rod with a ring on top.
No slots or key type thing on that ring for any tool to hold on to the rod to stop it turning.
Sorta looks like a Husky setup but the fork tube must not jam the lower washer to undo the allen screw on the bottom like the huskys do.
Cheers Mike

Mike, Pm me your email address and I will post large pics which will show more detail.

I use this method with good success - leave the fork assembled, drain the fork oil, flip the fork over and press the fork downwards - the more pressure the better. This compresses the spring against the damper rod with enough tension to (usually ) stop it rotating as you try to undo the damper rod retaining bolt. Use a rattle gun for best effect. Giving the damper rod retaining bolt a hit before you start with a drift also helps to break the lock. Good luck.

Ta Canam I've been thinking I might have to do that because after seeing the photo's that Oldie kindly sent me I am of the opinion that the last person who assembled these forks threw away the top of the damper rods 
I can see all the way to the bottom of the damper and it looks as if the valve on top is missing.
Wondered why they were bouncy.

Got them out and they look nothing like the manual 
The white square pipe with the seat belt bolt in it is the tool , fits in the female hex just right.
