FLSTC fork / axle twist

Hi All, FL-style forks are new to me and my bars need centering.
Could someone please advise how; in the absence of pinch bolts, the upper yoke holds the fork tubes against rotation?

I stripped the tinware and loosened the lower yoke pinch bolts, but it didn't free the legs up enough to straighten them up- I ran out of time, so reassembled for another day.
.
I daresay I'll need to order up a socket to fit the top nuts, but any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers, D
 
Go to YouTube and search for “Delboys Garage”. He has a simple step by step guide to centering the Forks. There are others on YouTube as well. Worth looking at!
If I can find the Vid. I will post link.
Good luck.
Pat.

I am not familiar with FL Style forks but if there are no Pinch Bolts on the Top Triple Tree then the legs are held by the Top Nut in the Tube. Loosen half a Turn and with the bottom pinch bolt undone see if the Tube can be turned. Let us know.
