One thing to be careful of is make sure that you get both stanchions at the correct level when you put them back into the yoke. The stanchion is the bit that is held by the yoke and bolted up. The fork leg is the bottom bit, where the brake caliper is mounted. I, like you, am not a mechanic, but can do most things on my Thunderbird. As you have a Haynes manual, that will guide you through everything. If you get stuck I'll scan the manual as best I can and post it here for you. I used a bit of old copper tubing and marked down 109 mm's, and slowly added the oil til it touched the mark on the copper tube. The oil level is measured from the top of the fork tube, it should be no more than 109 mm from the top of the fork leg. Replace the fork oil with SAE15 this is per the Triumph manual The amount of oil you need is determined by when the forks ( without the springs ) are fully compressed.
