rear wheel mounting (new problem)

Guys, thanks for all the replies, however new problem has developed.
As soon as I get the axle to the right side of the swingarm, the wheel
binds up and the axle needs hammered through the swingarm hole. Up to
that point, the wheel spins freely and the brake works fine. But as
soon as I reach the right hole, the wheel binds. Do I have a problem
with this new Dunlop D607, large tire???? But that wouldn't make
sense with the wheel off the ground?? Bearings are all good, mechanic
that changed the tires confirmed. HELP!!! leaving for 2,000 mile
trip next Sunday!!
Thanks, Chris

I covered my brake lines with Plasti Dip Spray-on (brush-on/spray-on rubber coating), comes in different colors, yellow, red etc. Fast, easy, looks good and has held up well. I sprayed my front and rear lines about 6 years ago, their still "custom yellow" but need to be redone. Can this be considered a necessary farkel?

Send me your address off-line, I'll send you a few feet.
