DROPOUTS HELP!!!!!!!!!!

(1/4) > >>

Swivel:
Guys, how the hell can you increase the size of the drop outs without fooking them up or weakening the frame? I have a lovely bike which I hope to bring along on sunday but I've just for the 1st time tried fitting the wheels and they ain't going in! They are 10mm axles as they should be, but the forks are so tight that they won't fit around the inner nuts of the wheel to slot it in, and the rear is so tight, I cannot even slide in the back wheel!

Help!  :-\

Really want to take this along on sunday but need urgent advice.

Mr Nice:
I used an angle grinder on some aero reflex forks. took nice and easy had no damage

Swivel:
Nope, not good, don't want to damage or fook up the chrome. All they are is TIGHT, can anyone advice how to free them up i.e. seperate the front forks and back dropouts without fooking them up or damaging the frame.

How far out are they?
Sometimes you have to "spring" the frame a bit to get a wheel in.
Are there additional washers between the hub cone nuts making the hubs too wide?
