Get a socket that is somewhat the same size as the middle of the starnut, get the screwdriver attachment for it, hit the end of the screwdriver with a mallet.

These work well. Put the punch tip through the threads and just hammer away.

Its what I use.

get a single one from home depot or something

Put the starnut down untill all the leg thingys are alll the way inside the fork

 

[Caleb Hill]

you put it about 10cm into the bars

 

[Kroto]

you put it about 10cm into the bars

He wants to know the forks not the bars, also it should be just at the top of the fork tube ill get a picture if i can,

Picture is pretty big sorry but that should cover it

You simply use your fingers to push it in 53.5 inches into your fork...and yull probably have to end up cutting your starnut in half to get it to go in, but no worries, it will hopefully work
