PM-25MV. X axis hard to turn. Brass pins missing

Is the notch on the gib of your X axis on the right side, too? The small tapered end goes in from the right side of the mill?
 
Can't wait to try this when I get home. This has been boggling my mind for awhile
 
The notch for my x-axis gib is on the right side (PM-25).

Considering my machine was converted by Pro-Cut CNC, I had to research to make sure they were installed correctly. Arizonavideo has install videos for his kits, and shows him installing from the right side.

Here is another video showing the same. I am wondering if there is variation from the factory for this?

 
My gibs dont slide in easy like that.

ive tried swapping gibs like you mentioned. Made it worse, so I thought the first set up was correct. I put in the gib that was there before in the Y Axis and now it will not go in... even though it's the gib that had no issues before. Same exact gib. I tried wiggling it and pushing the gib in.. no luck

gonna mess with it some more.
 
I have a PM-25MV with an x-axis power feed. The x-axis is a little hard to turn by hand, but this is probably due to the power feed.

Would you consider installing an x-axis power feed to help solve your issue?
