Say you keep the one fork pinched at the lower tree, you leave the other 3 areas loose. That means you again, push down on the forks. Spin the loose fork. Push the loose fork down to match the one pinched fork;
1. Tighten the upper top tree, that is the L formation at the upper forks, the same upside down [opposite] L tightening sequence is at the lower fork with axle. But this is the upper right crown pinch bolt, that is the first to be tightened is the lower right fork that is torqued at the bottom tree.
2. To make sure the front end is back in alignment, you should be able to push the loose fork up and down, spin it around kind of slides right up both lower tree, and upper crown. This is next is pinch the left lower tree, then the left upper crown pinch bolts in this sequence.
3. Way to many combination setups you can approach with the front end. I just picked one off the top of the head is now push down on the front end, shake the wheel and shit, pushing up and down a few times, you made the axle move with the collars.
4. You did this to spread the collars through the fork ends so the legs [sit] static straight down, not pinched with your diaper in a wad >>> by the collars winding up inside; you screwing the axle in. Say this is work being done with the wheel loaded on the ground. Do you see, I do not need a front end stand. I just need the bike's own side stand for the work here. Hey, I'm in a pinch on the side of the road say.
5. Pinch the [lower] left axle collar first. Pinch the axle side or right fork, last. The more you push and twist the forks, the more things line up heading down the the last pinch sequence. Pinch and move are just more overboard moves, we can play this front end game 'any which way but loose.'
6. YOu do know; you had the calipers all floating loose on their bolts like you have to remove them to remove the wheel. So, here you are with the side stand loaded with the back wheel loaded and your arms are loaded with the front end off the ground on the grips. Now you go under the back of the wheel, kick the front tire backwards to spin, hit the brakes, stop the wheel, let go of the bars, let the front wheel settle where it lays on the bounce.
7. Torque the calipers down, squeeze the pads so the barrels line up in that position now and now you are done. Did you...>>> Have that front wheel checked on the static balance with just your axle? Push the pads away from the disc. Front wheel back off the ground. Move the 3 weights to 12:00 o'clock. Move the 3 weights in [those] 4 clock positions. Not one... Not one spoke should move; once you remove your hand from said position(s).
8. If all went well, you should be able to pull the bars back up, on the side stand, kick the whee so it spins free. It should keep rolling until you hit the lever or stops on it's own.
