When reassembling the front end, are there any special procedures to make sure you have re-installed the fork tubes correctly? Like how to get the right height above the triple tree and how to line them up so that axle sits right and the brake caliper lines up with wheel when everything is back together.

Sorry if it's a stupid questions, getting ready to take the front end apart and want as much info upfront as possible.

Dude hate to tell you this but if your taking the front end apart do yourself a favor and get a service manual. It will make things a hell of a lot easier.

Just make the tubes equal on top, don't worry about the bottoms, you can turn the lower fork tubes to line them up.
