Then just turn the socket until the threads on the cap start properly.((photos by sportytrace of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=446320)) ^^^ | + | ^ It may take a few goes to get it to depress squarely into the tube.

| + | **Here's another also using a ratcheting bar clamp**. \\ The upper pad was drilled so the 1/2" extension would fit through it. The black tube on the extension is a sprinkler adapter which just happened to be the right size to fit on the extension. It just keeps the extension from falling out. The socket is from J&P cycles. Drill a hole in the lower part of the metal bar and put a motorcycle strap through it. Hook the other end of the motorcycle strap to the bottom of the fork and tighten it down so the clamp will pull down on it.
