June 19, 20206 yr Well done. Yes, when one looks at your first photo of the stem nut, it's obvious that it's upside down. "Experience: it gives the test first and the lesson afterwards". Oh ... one more thing to consider, when tightening the top nut, ensure that your fork tube pinch bolts on the upper yoke are completely slack (as the top yoke needs to be able to move downwards onto the bearing load nut). And then tighten those bolts once you've torqued the top nut.
