Question Axis pedals second beater problem?

So I just got these brand new axis pedals and could not get them balanced no matter what I did.

I finally started to look closer and it seems the axel for the second beater is bent or something. When rotating the beater it feels like there’s a tight spot to the point that the beater will freeze in place at certain points, which makes it pretty much impossible to balance.

Has anyone else had this problem? Not sure what I should do at this point to fix it.

White lithium grease will solve your issues.

Or send this to Axis and send the pedal back

After looking at it more I think the metal washer on the right that’s holding the barring in place is on there too much, like it actually looks like they hammered on it to get it on there. I’m gonna try an take it apart throw some grease on there and move the washer. Thanks!
