Does anyone have a Fork Spring Compressor?
Alright, so my rebuild has begun (FINALLY got my bike back from getting hit a month ago at a stop sign). Step one: fork seal, and I've discovered I need a Fork Spring Compressor tool to disassemble the thing. I was able to do this job on my older bike ('02 XZ-6R) without such a tool, but I'm not seein how to get around it this time.
I have an '08 ZX-6R. If anyone has this tool or some suggestions, any help would be greatly appreciated!

3" or 4" diameter schedule 40 PVC pipe (whatever size will fit over the largest diameter of the fork)
3/8" threaded rod 3/8" nuts (to fit threaded rod) Cut a 4" length of the PVC. Cut the 3' section of threaded rod in half. Grind one end of each piece of rod to a point. Drill two 3/8" holes in the PVC (at 6 & 12 o'clock). Insert both threaded rods (points inward) into the PVC. Thread a nut onto both ends of both pieces of rod.....aww hell, just look here How To Change Fork Seals (Inverted forks) - Custom Fighters - Custom Streetfighter Motorcycle Forum

On the forum portal, all your title reads is "Does anyone have a fork...?" and it makes me giggle.
