This makes sense! Thank you, now, what do I need and where do I get it(online if available)?

I don't know what I am doing here(with this fork that is), and that's why I asked! And no offense to you, but my bike will not be going to a shop almost definantly(sp?). None of my bikes over the last few years have been to any shops, and I don't plan on starting with this one. I can get a torque wrench if you guys really think it's that important, I will, my dad works in a machine shop and my neighbor has one also. So what do I need, inch-pound; foot-pound; or inch-ounce?(something is telling me foot/inch-pound and not ounce, but which?)
Thanks for all the help guys!
