Mine has stripped out. How to remove?

The fork (2011 RS Revelation RLT 20mm) also seems to be sucking down through travel. Full seal kit? Pay for Loco to sort? Easier fix?

Tried a slightly larger imperial hex key?

I bought a seal kit off ebay for about £14, and changed all the seals on the air side to solve the fork sucking down. 30 min job, full service pdf is on the SRAM site.

Stretch an elastic band over the end of the hex key and try that. Top tip I picked up somewhere along the way.

1/16" is just under 1.6mm so might work, or whatever size torx bit you can jam in there.
