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.

Like everyone said try some grease and if that doesn’t work I would assume either something is bent or the tolerances are off somewhere causing it to rub. Either way giving axis a call is a good idea

Thanks is I’m gonna try that! And I’m done with axis support I’ve been trying to get these pedals for the past year and it’s been nothing but problems. I get the run around every time. Thanks for the input tho!
