Does it have a pressure washer between the forks and the top race?  if so you just need to clamp down on it with the star spangly doofer and the stem, takes a while but you should be able to get enough pressure on to tighten it up, if not ut one or two spacers between the top race and stem and then tighten it up  :daumenhoch:

no the problem is the bearings i think and what place they sit in.they are floating bearings
they dont touch the inside of the bearing cups  like a 1"   the bearings seem to small.

problem solved   :uglystupid2:
as i knocked the top bearings out with a 22mm socket.
i looked this morn at a socket on the floor,it was wearing a chrome skirt  lol
it was the bearing retainer  that locks it all together    :4_17_5:
