Hi everybody!

Just wondering if anybody with an expander (RPE) has had trouble turning the key near the END of their expansion. Mine hasn't been a problem until today, there is a lot of resistance, and the right side is achy now. :x

Yes, I had trouble turning mine towards the end also. It didn't really hurt until the last couple of times I turned it, which seems kinda weird to me.
