What I eventually discovered is that when everything is installed the lower bearing plate is not quite at 90 degrees to the gear leg. So when you tighten everything the bearing is not quite aligned right. The fix in my case is to resurface the bottom of the bearing slightly to correct the alignment on the shaft. It is a slight amount (about .020) but enough to make the gear leg really tight. It is probably that the lower plate is not bent quite enough. An easy fix, but also easy to miss. Hope this helps.
