I had heard from a previous post that the brake rod has the same threads as
the top fork plug and can be used to pull them up. Anybody confirmed this?

If what I think happened, happened. Then there is a special tool for this job. Which screws into the top of the fork tube and allows you to pull the tube up through the headlight tin, leg, triplr tree,whatever. In the past I have used a 1 inch x 1 inch piece of wood inserted into the fork tube. Then with duct tape, tapes the leg to the wood. The less tape the better, it'll be tight getting it through the triple trees with the tape. a bit of grease wouldn't hurt either. Be careful of the fine threads in the tubes. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: David Whalen [mailto:haircutti-@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 10:03 AM To: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: Fork Assembly Problem ============================================================ Finest Selection of Quality Gemstones & Diamond Jewelry Over 20,000 Items at Gem Show Prices!

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. dw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
