Here is a link to an exploded view... www.cheapcycleparts.com/model_years/170-honda-1982-express-nc50/assemblies/3340
Not sure I understand. When the fork is inserted into the frame, the parts numbered 3, 14 and 11 are placed on the fork. Then the nut (#5) is installed on top of the bearing assembly, thus fastening the fork into the frame. I do not understand your statement about the race and the nut being locked together. And even if the race and the nut are locked together, wouldn't the race simply turn with the nut and still allow the nut to come off? I have never had this opened up before, but from my memories of working on my bicycles (many moons ago) the nut simply threads down onto the fork until it applies enoungh pressure on the bearings to prohibit slop. Sooooo, why won't that nut turn?
Sorry for making a likely simple thing into a rocket science project :-)
