Tom ....
The CCE brace is somewhat 'wedged' between the lower legs.  You will have to loosen the axle to get it in place, as the manufacturer (CCE) directs, then re-torque your axle to specifications.  The CCE design is wider than the distance between the lower legs.  What stresses and tensions this creates on the entire front forks is unknown to me .... but it does take some effort to get the CCE brace into position. 

The German made 'Screamin' Eagle' brace is a better design that does not force the forks apart.

As mentioned in an earlier post, some of the chrome braces fit good on chrome lower legs, but, others don't.  It's something that you'll have to play around with a bit.

Good luck!
