Fork Damper retaining screw broke!! was created by RT3Sam

So I bought the o-ring kit and decided to rebuild the fork damper on my RT3. I to remove the retaining screw and it broke the pin off inside. Anyone have a good idea for removing the retaining pin without removing the triple trees?

Oh bugger, that's a first that i've heard of. Is it not flush with the damper spline so it'll just pull out or lever out with not too much force on the damper. Can you tap it in a little further if the hole is deeper then the broken pin. Otherwise drilling but if that turns it then it should fall out. Or bike over on the ground & on full lock then tap the damper hoping pin will drop out. Don't ya just hate problems like that.
