Roger that... No matter now really because noticed the nose gear is not rotating freely too... I am sure Hangar 9 makes some good stuff too but I have no doubt what so ever that these 40 sized retracts are less than good quality... My plane has not breeched 20 mph yet and so far I have trashed 1 nose gear and 2 mains... Next time out will be my last attempt to use them because I have gone through them very carefully and made sure they were as perfect as can be... If they fail again it will only be due to the limits of the design and the strength of the materials...
