Motorcycle Front shock fail

Motorcycle front shock fail in time especially if it came from an accident and just reused it, rebuild, pressed to salvage for further service.
Shown is what happened to my front shock last 2006. The left side front absorber took the hit., Buying a new one isn't possible, therefore was forced to send it to a nearby machine shop for pressing. From till then, it still serve my motorcycle front suspension to date. But, every year i have leak, damping rod bolt keep on loose, i always have to dismantle the front end, put it in a bench Vise for repair. But then got an idea on how to dismantle just the front absorber cap, and tightening the damping rod bolt at the other end of the suspension. Without removing the entire absorber for their original location, like the bolts that secure them from the T-post,
