Dr. Ratfart's fork tool is the best homemade one I've seen.... He got an 18mm bolt (has a 27mm head) and drove a 5/8' socket over the shank, IIRC. Nice, clean and CHEAP. Connects right up to an extension to reach down the stanchion tube, or directly to the ratchet for the cap...

I have a similar tool for the FJ, makes the job MUCH easier.
What's the bolt for though?

I kinda like the name myself. Trade mark it :).
