Default Wastegate questions

I'm just finishing off my turbo project, and i noticed my wastegate rod is really hard to pull out, i need to use vicegrips to pull it out all the way, is this normal? BTW it's the stock wastegate actuator from an SVO mustang

An air compressor with a needle valve and a guage is alot easier.

I tried an air compressor and that thing will just keep taking in air...

I used a hand pump, some vacuum hose, and a tee with my fuel pressure regulator gauge screwed into it. I got 3PSI with the pump and it ended up being 4.
