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?

I

noticed that the interior threaded part of the

fork assembly had "fallen down" into the outer

portion

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.
