I don't understand how I'm doing it piecemeal? I have a very specific question, with a specific picture. I understood how it all went together BEFORE I posted this thread, as I had replaced the (loose) ball bearings several times. My terminology may have been off, and you may have misinterpreted my problem because of it, but the issue is very specific (and has been since the beginning of this thread): does the crown race seat come off my fork? If so, how?
