i had my wheeler winched up off a truss in the garage to put on my plow mount and went to spin the front tires and they didnt move so free... is that normal or is there somthing i can do to make it move more freely..

ps.. the brakes are new.. the guy i bought it from ACUTALLY FIXED THE BACK BRAKE!!!! can u believe it,,, it really works... but he replaced the front pads also... soo yea.. help me out

 

When I put new pads in the front of mine the tires wouldn't spin freely. I found that there is a set screw in the guide pin of the caliper that needed to adjusted to get the correct free play. If its not right the pads will be shot soon. Just my experiance.

Turn set screw in untill you feel a drag on rotor and then back off screw about 1/3 turn,purpose is to align caliper with rotor.
