Shouldn't be a struggle to install them, nor take any force to move them
once installed.

One possibility is that one of the bearing rollers fell out of place, and is
trapped between the cross and the bearing cap.

I'm running several of the GMB U-joints from TRF, and they seem to fit, and
work, fine.
