OK, I finally got my first NWSL gearbox and started assembling tonight. I've set the worm on the shaft, installed the bearings, added grease and test fit it in the gearbox and turns nice and freely. However, when I add the idler there seems to be binding. I've been able to work some of the tightness out but it seems to come back after about 3/4's of a turn. Is this normal and the tightness works itself out on it's own or should everything be turning without effort when first assembled? My feeling it's the later but I have no comparison. Any thoughts?
