adjusting the slides on the microrouter v4 ns

there is a lot of resistance on either end of the y axis after i removed and cleaned the z axis winding nut and stepper motor coupling. i also removed and cleaned the z and y axis slides. is it possible that the slides are now out of square? how can i adjust it?

figured it out with some help from 'inspector x' at denford. thanks!
the y axis issue was due to the top y axis slide. the cause of that problem was that the bearing for the z axis threaded rod had slid up when i removed it for cleaning the nut and replacing the microswitch. the threaded rod was holding the top of the carriage too high and binding on the top slide.
the y and z axis are now sliding nicely.
