stepper motor not rotating smoothly

Hello,

I have both X and Y axis 3D printer stepper motors rotating in a weird way, when I rotate em by my fingers I feel they turn like 90 to 120 degree (a bit more than a quarter turn) smoothly without reisistance, then a little resistance after that requireing more force, which makes both heat bed and the extruder move the same way , a bit free/smooth , then resistance, like if something is braking...

I was inspecting X and Y axis belts thought they were loose, because of 3D printing issues (attached) to find that its the stepper motors are behind this.

are these damaged stepper motors ?
