Y axis linear bearings are very tight

[jembb5]

I am assembly the i3 x and I am in the very beginging of the assembly. When i went to put the linear bearings for the y axis onto the smooth rod they were very tight. Once the build plate was screwed onto the bearings it becamse very difficult to move the plate due to the massive amount of friction. It is pretty difficult to move by hand. Is this a major problem or can i keep going with the assembly? If not what are some things I can do to make this problem go away

Hi,you can spread some lubricating oil on the threaded rods.
