Which part do I change? I put washers in between the irons and the wheel and it STILL hits. I'm also not thrilled about how little the hub locknut has to grab now that there is a shorter length of bolt. My first idea was to shave down the offending wood bits but worry about altering the cabinet.

Suggestions?
