Default Alignment Question

I had takin off the trees and forks and sent them Out for powder coating.

I do have a manual but I didn't see anything in there about Aligning everything back up, The bars Trees And the forks..

Anyone know of a good video on this or Pass Along some good advice
Thanks

When you go to reinstall everything (hopefully you have a manual -if not PM me) you don't need to do an alignment. When you put the forks and wheel together it will align itself..

You need to stick a screwdriver through the hole in the axle when tightening up the front axle nut. This keeps the right fork from being 'drawn' toward the left fork. It's in the manual. Other than that, no alignment.

That's what I was Thinking that if I put everything together lose Then Torque to spec It would all Align itself

Not everything together loose.. Everything in the correct order and torqued in the correct order.

You may have just been speaking generally but wanted to convey the importance just the same.
