I would like to remove the plastic air catridge from the alloy stanchion.

RST XMO O2 forks, bought around 2000.

I figured out the catrridges unscrew as at least one of them did... but I cannot remove the other one.

So any ideas on how to unscrew it? (yes, I have removed the criclip!)

I tried using an expanding bolt fitted into the centre but this kept slipping; my other idea is to use a flip bolt - this will allow me to grip it from below and using a nut/washer from top to grip it via the hole, try to undo it that way.

below can see the black plastic top of the air cartridge, with circlip and air valved still fitted
