Thanks Fred and Kevin, The fork tube has not fallen too far. I can still put the big nut on it. I just cant get the top triple plate back on and the bolt through it. Suppose I should loosen the lower fork clamps, then perhaps I tie some strong wire around the nut, jack up the bike, and cinch the wire around an exposed roof beam and slowly and carefully let the bike hang by the wire at the nut. Do you think that would work?
of the fork tube thereby making it impossible to refasten that side of the fork assembly to the
upper
triple plate. The right side was fine, however.
Has
anyone had this experience who might share some insight.
The "interior threaded part" is the fork tube, and it has slipped in the lower clamp (are these loosened?) You need the cool special tool to reach down there, thread into the tube, and yank it back up.
If you didn't loosen the lower clamping bolts, it might be a good time to check em! I would loodsen them after you have both upper nuts threaded down but not tight, and then tighten them after tightening the top nuts.
