Once you glue those torque rods they seldom get freed back to a usable state. Your best bet is to cut them out and start over.

When you go to reinstall the torque rods, coat them with vaseline or my favorite chapstick. That way when you glue the bearings in place the glue won't stick to your torque rods.

You want all your control surfaces to be as free as possible. I like mine to fall under the weight of the control surface only but I have had a lot of practice. Another ting any binding at all will eat up battery power and your servos won't center correctly every time. Soshoot for free movment and NO Slop.
