I could not complete the fork oil change today because I could not get the fork cap nut off. (no, I did not take out the drain screws, but I did have them broke loose)
It is smaller thank 36mm, I have that in the tool kit and a short socket.
It measures just under 35mm and about right on 1 3/8" with a digital caliper.
I need to buy a box end wrench for this and would like to hit it right the first time.

iclick is a good guy and I know him personally. I am going to have to disagree, however.
Your forks have no oil filter. The spring rubs inside of the fork tubes leaving a fine powder that must be cleaned off. This is done the same way as you would clean a shotgun.
The forks on a dresser are on a rake and just the top side of the (using 2006 FLHTCUI FC as an example) 45940-84 BUSHING DD/FC/FF/FS/FV/KA/KB (the one around the bottom of the fork tube) Teflon bushing is worn away. On the upper bushing just under the spacer seal 45866-84 BUSHING slider DD/FC/FF/FS/FV/KA/KB the bottom side of the Teflon wears. The below is an example of a 2007 Street Glide with 7,500 miles.
If anyone wishes to learn how to properly rebuild their forks than you may do so on my site. It is not my bike so do what you like.
