Filing front dropout While carrying my road bike via plane one of my front dropouts has been bent slightly so I can't easily install or remove my front wheel. After I inspected the dropouts I found that one of them has closer tips compared to other, so the threaded axle of the front hub doesn't fit the entrance of the slot.
If I file my aluminum fork's dropout until it is the correct size, will that create another problems? If I remember correctly bending aluminum will create more damage than repairing.
Update
I've taken some pics to clarify my situation. In this picture you could see that axle of front hub has already started to abrade the dropout.

Not sure maybe it's my misalignment but looks like the 2 fingers (ears) of the dropout do not looks perfectly parallel.
If an aluminum fork dropout has been bent, it has already been compromised in strength. Bending it back will make matters worse. Filing it wider open will also make matters worse, even if it was not already bent: thinner metal can obviously carry less load.

I would say don't risk it and find a replacement fork instead. A fork failure when riding can cost you teeth or worse if you crash.

For the future, to prevent bending dropouts/forks/chainstays when transporting bicycle, it is recommended to insert "dummy" hubs when wheels are removed and to fasten them with your wheel axles. This way, any strike to the frame is more likely to be deflected and won't cause a permanent deformation. Of course, having a wheel axle in place would also help dropouts to survive as it will back them up.

A dummy hub can be just a piece of wood wide enough to fit between rear/front dropouts and with a hole big enough for the axle. Or it can be indeed an old hub without rim/spokes/etc.
