[title] Y smooth rods installation - MK2(S)/MK2.5(S)
[* 3] Gently insert 2x Y axis smooth rods (330mm long).
[* 9] You must not use any significant force whilst inserting the rods into the linear bearings.
[* 9] Don't rotate the smooth rods, the LM8UU bearings are not made to rotate.
[* 5] Loosen the M5 screws of the 2x right ''y_rod_holders''. You should be able to slide them easily by hand.
[* 7] Clip the Y smooth rods and carriage assembly into the ''y_rod_holders''. The Single bearing should be to the right.
[* 2] Verify the marker on the carriage is correctly positioned. If this is not the case, check that you have followed the previous steps correctly.
-[* 9] It is very important to have the LM8UU bearings correctly oriented as well as the marker or you will have issue later in the assembly.
