I've removed the wedge nut. No change.

It could be as you said the wedge catching on something but can't see what.
40cm might be the length of the quill not a nut. Pictures would help. Your quill stem has a binder bolt and a wedge, both now removed, correct? You have removed the headset locknet, any spacers/keyed washers and the headset threaded top race from the steerer, correct?
