Z Axis Motor Resistance

I'm in the assembly process and recently completed the z-axis step, however, the left z-axis motor has a lot of resistance and it won't let me turn it easily by hand. Is this normal?

 

I got all the parts to fit together but, need some guidance here because I'm unsure if I should proceed to put the extruder on until I know if this is acceptable/common or not.

RE: Z Axis Motor Resistance

Both motors should turn relatively easily.  Did perhaps by chance screw the "z-screw cover" (step 3 z-axis assembly) down too firmly to where is is dragging on the motor housing? If this is not the case I would recommend contacting Prusa support via the Eshop "chat" to discuss next steps with them.
