May have damaged it too much to use again...sure was tight in there....looked like maybe some kind of locktight was used last....The other fork could be a challenge....
Sure would like to see what the inside of Factory tool pic #10-1 looks like......(cylinder holder adapter)

Just to confirm, (24) Part# 57001-142 is for 1977 KZ1000-A1, and (10-1) Part#57001-176 is for earlier model....Sure would like to see what the inside of Factory tool pic #10-1 looks like......(cylinder holder adapter)....

...Kawasaki part number 57001-176. It's basically a 3/8" socket that's made to fit onto a 9/16" dia. round with two flats.
Good Fortune!
