Can't remember which Honda forks but on some of them you loosen that hex head screw and the whole thing it screws into moves...so I shove a wooden dowel down the leg and push down hard on it so that the friction stops the assembly from turning. I seem to remember a broom handle but that's maybe too large dia., depending on the forks concerned.

That's F1 forks you're thinking of Ash, easiest way is to leave the spring in under tension, then remove the Allen bolt with an air or electric impact wrench. Always worked for me!

I use a ratchet strap to put some tension on the leg.
Never had any problems getting the bolt out doing it this way :)
Bryanj:
Early 750 forks had bushes so you could take the circlip out and work the seal out but later ones like yours don't have the bushes so the slider has to come off, workshop way of undoing the allen bolt is a windy gun and long 3/8 drive allen key but putting the spring under tension usually works as well.
N.B
You need a long series allen key
BE CAREFULL removing the old seal as if you scratch/gouge the inside of the leg where the outer of the seal fits it will forever leak
