New front wheel hub

[LarrBeard]

Looking for advice, I had to replace the passenger side front wheel hub and the fit is so tight that I can’t get it on without force. Tried the old hub and it slides right on. I understand wear on the old hub, but is there something I need to do with the brakes to install new hub to fit right?

I strongly suggest that you get a Service Manual for the 'lil critter.

Here is an excerpt from the manual, taken from the KWAS web-site:

I think you're going to be fine.
