Fork Cap Tool with Hex Drive and Six-Pin Design

Brief Overview

This fork cap tool is engineered for efficient removal and installation of multi-pin fork caps on suspension systems. The six-pin locating design ensures accurate alignment and secure engagement with the cap, while the hex drive provides direct ratchet or breaker bar compatibility.

Real-World Application

This tool addresses the specific challenge of fork cap removal on suspension systems with multi-pin designs. The six locating pins prevent cam-out and wobbling, reducing the risk of cap damage or stripped pin bores—a common problem when improvising with undersized wrenches. The hex drive allows mechanics to apply controlled torque without risk of rounding the cap, critical when working with aluminum fork bodies that can be easily damaged.
