the "wheels/bearings" on the tripod should move/spin freely........if they are not, then it needs replacing

the problem seems to be not the bearings on the tripod but the housing that fits in the gbox , seems like the housing got narrower where the bearing slide so now it doesnt slide easily and gets stuck
