Front axle
I had the shop install new front wheel bearings and seals. In attempting to re-install the wheel with the proper front axle torque setting, the right hand brake rotor is rubbing the fork, and the left hand one seems to have more than enough clearance. Am i doing something wrong ?

Did you loosen the fork brace, are the axle holders facing the correct way?
The only stupid questions are the one's that are not asked.

sounds like you just have the axle clearnced too far to the right.thr bevel on the end of the axle should just be protruding the fork only

Thanks for the help, guys. Turns out I had the axle nut on the right rather than the left side !!
