I am still left with the issue of the misaligned front tire. We figured out that if you sit on the front tire to hold it down and move the handle bars, I can get the tire to line up with center a little better. This concerns me though, because if it is loose enough to move out of alignment with a moderate amount of pressure, this makes me think it could easily wobble around or twist out of place as I'm riding it,

Sounds like the wheel nut isn’t tightened enough or the nut and cone on the axle is loss, this video shows may help if the axle is loss in the wheel.

If you want to completely disassemble the bike you will need a hell of a lot of tools plus special tools bike tools!
