On a slash six isn't it just a matter of taking off the cap and using the hex key/ socket trick? If I remember right when you loosen the lock nut you can push the hex doodad back up breaking the seal and the oil drains out.
On my /7, I hold a socket with a pair of vise grips...this let's me go up the middle of the socket with the allen wrench to hold the damper rod from turning. Loosen the nut and remove it. I then keep the allen wrench in the end of the damper rod and shove it up into the slider...helps if the front end is off the ground. When finished draining, wiggle the allen key to get the damper rod to fall back into the hole. Repeat the process with the socket-vise grips to tighten up. Pretty much all forks are the same up to the late 1980s...Type I forks.
