I know less than nothing about Ezy's, so if the following is standard procedure for setting up the gear, then just disregard.

The 1st thing that came to mind is instructions for doing weight & balance on planes with spring gear, like RV's. We're told to roll the plane up ramps onto the scales (meaning, don't hoist it up and lower it onto the scales), because lowering it will cause side-loading of the scales. Friction will keep the gear from spreading to its natural width as the full weight of the plane comes down on the gear. An alternative given is to use 'greased plates'. Two rigid plates with grease between them sitting on each scale; then the plane can be lowered onto the scales & the greased plates will slide, allowing the gear to assume its natural 'spread'.

Any chance that the gear wasn't spreading fully when it was being set up?
