	Bounce the forks before you do anything up to let it self align. Then if you don't have a spindle holding tool nip up the pinch bolts on the side opposite the nut otherwise the spindle will probably turn as you tighten the nut. Then tighten the other side pinch bolts once the nut is done up. That's what i do anyway.
