Keep looking...you missed a roller or two or a track misalignment. Get
up closer and have someone move the door for you and the fault might
be more obvious. Good luck.

The resistance is either binding or the springs have too much
tension. Since it used to work, I'd suspect it's binding. As
suggested, have someone work the door while you look for where it may
be binding. Could be anything from the track and rollers to the
track having moved and the door now hitting the side of the garage.
