Wayne,
We've all been there! Take a deep breath.
Find a small rag, piece of foam, or a ball of used masking tape and prop the bit-plate out to its "touch" position.
The Y truck moves hard if the power is on or the circuit has not neutralized. If it is still hard after the power has been off,
clean the rails, check the rollers, and check the gear-box.
Everything will be alright, just take your time.
Ken,
