From Pablo's page:

Using a 1/2" drive socket wrench without a socket, remove the fork cap bolt and attached o-ring (see photo).  There is usually a little spring tension so be careful. The cap usually requires a special tool for removal but the 1/2" socket conveniently fits perfect.

I have a 98 and this worked gr8.

Yep - It's square. Just put in my Progressive Springs last night. Hope you have a long socket wrench, those puppies are tight!  :o I had to make do by putting another wrench on the end of my socket wrench to get enough leverage. Don't Say It.....I know you're thinking it! I'm not weak! I'm not. well.... :oops:
Hope that helps
