Hi all can you easily spin the spindle with your fingers on the k14? I have someone claiming the spindle is very stiff making the unit useless? Weird tho as It come off my car boosting easily at 25psi. The unit was dry stored for 9 days before been posted out to the person claiming this.

K14's do get stiff when stored but always seem to free up easily.

If the unit is off the car, WD40 down drain/feed and working it round will free it a treat.
but as said, being off for such a short time, doubt it would seize; even if it had, they free up piece of piss
