After setting the axle torque by MATCO's directions the seal doesn't move but the wheel doesn't want to either. It takes a good pull to turn the wheel and as soon as I remove my hand it stops-- no "spin" at all. If I back off one flat the seal turns with the wheel. For those who are flying, is this normal and does the wheel free up or do I need to trim the seal per MATCO's directions.
Per MATCO, the axle cotter pin is .125" by 2". The cad-plated pins I purchased from Spuce are visually bthihcked than the shiny pins supplied with the wheel and the new ones are VERY difficult (near impossible) to get through the axle holes. Thoughs/ soruces for thinner pins.
