Default New Clutch Disk Very Tight

I've installed a new clutch assembly to my 73.
Everything is new, plates, springs (teaser/main), driveshaft, disk etc.
My question is this:
The disk is sandwiched between the 2 pressure plates and will hardly move.
Tapping it moderately with rubber mallet allowed me to line up the drive plate holes.
However, even with pedal fully depressed it does NOT release the clutch disk enough to roll the tractor freely.
Could the new driveshaft spiral pin holes for the plates be drilled too close together for proper function or ...
Do new clutch disks need to be run a little to break in?
Tractor is being rebuilt from ground up so have not run it.
