First, I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. I'm new to this.
I removed the forks from my 2014 NTX to change the oil, wound off the cap, but could barely get a wrench on the nut under the cap to separate it from the pumping member pin (as its called in the workshop manual). The nut is barely visible/accessible from under the cap. After grinding down a wrench to make it thinner (to fit above the jam nut), my first go at it slightly stripped the corner off of the nut. I've stopped to check here and see if there's a trick to this.
I've perused several forum to see if I could find a solution with no luck.
I've not had any problem getting the spring out of the way, just getting the darn wrench on the nut with sufficient purchase to remove the cap.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
I attached a pic of the step from the manual.
