Axle and wheel installation

Had an issue with the left tire rubbing the brake shoe.  After discussing with the factory, they suggested adding additional washers behind the brake disk which positions the wheel slightly further away from the brake shoe.  Experimented by adding one washer, but there wasn't much clearance, so added 2 washers to each of the 3 bolts attaching the disk to the hub. This provided sufficient clearance and the problem with rubbing was resolved.   We plan to duplicate this change on the other (right) wheel, too.  Hours: 1.0
