Message: [QUOTE="IndyMX, post: 1250317, member: 71057"] You are correct sir, but since he's already screwed with it, lets address that. Dude.. back off that bottom nut a touch. Then, tighten the top nut on the clamp, if you have to hold that bottom nut with something to make sure that it's not moving. If that nut doesn't move, it shouldn't tighten up. The stem is pressed into the bottom clamp, and should not turn. Even if it did, it wouldn't cause the problem you are seeing. Unless it's so loose that the top nut is drawing it up when you tighten. But I doubt that's what's happening. When I have taken my triple clamps apart to lube everything, I have tightened that first nut until I felt resistance on the bearings, then backed off a bit. Then put the clamp on, and tightened the top nut. Then torque the clamps on the forks. I've never had the stem tighten like you are having. [/QUOTE]
