Priv......if you take the stem off you may find the forks have the threaded bit welded in them already....if not the way i've allways installed them on my MTBs is to screw the stem bolt into the nut (this gives you something to hit and to line it up with) then it's just a case of lining it up and a good hit with the irish screwdriver   :daumenhoch:
