Anyone have a set that I can borrow? I've had a set ordered through a dealership for the past 3 weeks, with no indication when they'll show up. I'll gladly pay/compensate for the postage both ways. Thanks!

I just adjusted mine, without them. I had taken the top yoke off to grease the steering head bearings. I used a standard car brake tool (spring puller/remover) to hold the lower (adjuster) nut while I used a 1 1/2 inch socket to torque the upper (locknut) nut. See my link a few days ago about fork oil-what kind and picture:

Interesting idea! Rather irritating that I have to buy yet another individual socket for the thing, sure wish they could have just used a 36mm, but no biggie.

Thanks for the suggestion!
