I replaced steering head bearings yesterday in my 74
Eldo. Upon reassembly, the bike fell over to the left
off the motorcycle lift (jack) as it was lowered too
much while I was trying to jockey the lower triple
tree (with front wheel and fork assembly intact) to
the bottom of the steering axle (stem). Then, when I
righted the bike and refitted the motorcycle lift I
noticed that the interior threaded part of the left
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.
