If you have, then you should be able to do this with a ring spanner (10 or 11cms, I can’t remember which). If you put the ring spanner over the end of the fork link and push down hard, wedging it into your chest, you should have a free hand to hold the screwdriver as mentioned above.
The only time I have not been able to do this is when I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to fit double thickness spring stops (they last no more than a week, if my memory serves me right).
. Unless they are dodgy Vietnamese fork links and end snaps off

Agree though, spanners the way forward
