I'm glad I read the FAQ from Ninja250.org as well.
http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_...aps/pistons%3F
Their suggestion of a (gear/sink tap/2-jaw/battery terminal/wiper) puller still requires something attached to the forks for it to pull on, like the triple tree, but one of their pics showed something that looks very similar to the SV650 clip-ons I bought but never installed. They require shimming to fit right, so I don't think attaching them would be the best idea, except that I also have Woodcraft clip-ons that I was waiting to install after all this.
Now, I just need this $5 gear puller. Someone added their two cents to the FAQ about not bothering with all that and just pushing down with a socket. Well, that's what I already tried
with help and not only could I not get it low enough to see the clip, I marred up the cap.
$5 is worth it, IMO.

Not that it damaged the threads but, obviously, if it's going to keep the fork from turning it will be putting pressure on them.
