Your rollers may be tight due to the bushings having urethane leaking into them during the molding process. It can be cleared out following the procedure shown in the following video we made several years ago. The process is different from the one Andy Baker shows in his video. We did clear it with him before posting.

The other reason the rollers may be tight is if the aluminum spiders are "pinching" the rollers. We removed the pinched roller and used large pliers or channel-locks to bend the fingers for that roller apart slightly.

Hope this helps.
