I am taking off my forks and swapping them over. I have taken off the top of the tree (handlebars etc) and now I am looking at a round Bolt (for want of a better word) with 4 square holes cut out of it. I was once told to tighten my old one with a hammer and screwdriver but it looks like it will get damaged if I hammer away. Is there a purpose built or better tool I should be using .. I am a complete Newbie with this 8)
Cheers

you need a C spanner, also known as a hook spanner.
