There is a special tool, I think I made one years ago by cutting a slot in an old socket and welding it onto a bar, it fits onto the other side of the allen bolt thro' the fork tube.
Having said that, for the last 25 years I have managed to undo the allen screw by putting a bit of compression on the fork leg while you give the allen bolt a whack. A proper allen bit in a 1/2" ratchet helps here to get good leverage.
Obviously you do this before you dismantle the fork leg and drain the oil.
