Seal driver part number is 32888-60505 from home depot. You just have to cut it where the inner diameter gets smaller, and grind off the threads on the end. Heres a crappy phone pic to help out:

Default Home Depot ??

I need to pick up one of these bad! The people at Home Depot (32888-60505) looked at me like I was an idiot when I gave them the photo. They asked what itis or what it does. Does anyone know what this is or what it's used for? Please let me know asap!

I went to home depot and looked around. I found an 1 3/4 inch pvc cross in the plumbing department. part number 012871624872. Since the fork tube is 43mm (1.6) inches that seemed to be the closest fit. There's a lot of different types of pvc pipes and connectors but the cross also gives me an area to tap on and not risk hitting the fork tube. It was $2.51 +tax. Hope this helps.
