Tom,
Thanks for the idea, but I thought that might be a problem as well. So, I
totally removed the brake shoes and tried to install the front wheel. No
dice. Same problem.

Try putting (temporarily) a washer in between the brake backing plate and the left-hand wheel bearing. I had the same problem on my Ambo because the relined shoes had wider friction material than the what was original. Seems to me that I solved the problem by filing off the edge of the linings on the inside edge of the brake shoes. I may have also left the washer in there as a spacer, but that was a year ago and I didn't take notes. |
