There seems to be a jury that is still out on the correct amount of pressure to move the side winder side to side by hand. As for the wedge I am going to do the grinding myself and re install as per Glazers post. I have 6 weeks before our first outing so have plenty of time to order the new one if necessary. I am beginning to think my biggest problem is failure to read instructions. First,I did not lubricate the wedge and second, I did a little damage to it the first time I hooked up myself. I had the trailer too high and the wedge appears to have hit the hitch skid plate and turned it up. The peeled metal perfectly backs up this theory. With every ones suggestions I think I will be set to go in a couple days, and much wiser.
