So Gugie and Bulgie and all, here in the freshwater Mitten (Michigan) I have a similar problem with a Trek 720 fork and rear triangle. The rear triangle is not so difficult to understand and I've been able to correct one or two cases (one of those Witcombs I worked on for a friend, and a UO-8), but the Trek's fork is knocked both sideways and twisted, so it's not a simple case! I do not think I have the skill, never mind the tools. I do have a rubber mallet, but I mainly use it to tap the tip of my saddle sideways to align it with the TT and DT before I tighten the seatpost clamp. I also have a 3# sledgehammer, which is the opposite. Anyway, I'm not equipped. Please suggest some similar enthusiast-based Atelier-types. Michigan seems to be losing professional frame-work practitioners.
