The service center pulled the wheel and the bearings today and there was
NOT a spacer between the bearings
. They had one fabricated and installed it along with a new set of bearings. The front wheel spins nice and free now and the axle nut can be tightened to spec.
They also checked the brake issue and I am not sure if they made any adjustments but they are working fine now. Very happy with the fast and friendly service I received today from the guys a Maxi Motors Del Meta in Villavicencio.
