If you have, then you should be able to do this with a ring spanner (10 or 11cms, I can’t remember which). If you put the ring spanner over the end of the fork link and push down hard, wedging it into your chest, you should have a free hand to hold the screwdriver as mentioned above.
The only time I have not been able to do this is when I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to fit double thickness spring stops (they last no more than a week, if my memory serves me right).
. Unless they are dodgy Vietnamese fork links and end snaps off

Agree though, spanners the way forward

No can’t get the buffer to budge, even resorted to pushing hot iron in to destroy it.
Bit concerned how much the gp spring is compressed as I don’t won’t it flying out
Can you get a drill bit to it and remove some material to make it more flexible to remove?
