This was great dude apart from i didn't find out how to remove the piston lol :D So i've removed the bottom hex bolt, however the piston is being held in the fork tube by a stopper etc/bush and i dont know how to get it out?
Right, that depends on the fork, there's a snap ring or clip underneath the dust boot and it holds in the seal and maybe a large flat steel washer -- again, depends on the fork -- but once that snap ring or clip is out, you just pull and slam the bush against the lower tube and kind of like a slide hammer, it comes out. If it won't, you missed a step. The video was about the holding tool for that part, not necessarily about fork disassembly. But I hope that helps. The service manual should tell you how to do it.
So my neighbor helped me with this, rather than make that nut into a tool, just make sure it's tall enough, drop it down into the damper rod, then hold the nut still with a socket on a long extension (he had like a 2' 3/8" extension). This was an an old Kawasaki ZN750 ltd

Yep. Two people can do it without anything so extravagant. Unfortunately, I'm chief cook and bottlewasher and don't have any help.
I use an impact gun, while the fork leg is still under load from the spring. Crude, but effective.
I have also. It sometimes works. Some of these though, are really stuck. I’ve had to heat a few with the torch.
Nice!!!
Or you could at a pinch use a wooden broom handle tapped into place.
Why buy it when you can make it! Thank you!
