to leave the bearing parts on the fork tube and neck in the same position and
order.
6. If the bearing parts need to be re-installed on the fork tube, be sure the balls
face up and the ball bearing retaining ring faces down. If bearing parts
need to be re-installed on the chassis head tube, be sure the balls face
down.
