I like your style there WunGun.  

I use a long piece of all thread and two nuts locked on each end.  Just saves me from having to use extensions and fishing bolts and crap out of the fork.  Same concept though.

I found a different way to do this w/out buying any new tools... it just so happens that the rear axle nut is the right size to hold the inner damper tube on the inside.

You'll need a spare rear axle with the hex head end, a nut, and the axle nut.
You'll also need a 14mm socket, a 12" extension and ratchet.
And maybe some wire if you don't want flip the fork tube upside down to get your tools back.

I had another nut w/out the thread locker to use as a lock nut, using the rear axle as the bolt, spin the lock nut on then the axle nut and torque them onto the end of the axle.

Now you can wire the 14mm socket and extension together with the axle.

I put a 8mm hex wrench in a vise on the floor, sat the fork tube assembly on it, dropped the axle/extension assembly onto that and turned it with the ratchet.

Easier than doing it with the broom stick.
