Brakes?

2K f350 4x4 Hey guys, new question for you. Just replaced rotors, calipers, and pads on the front. Got to the passenger side and noticed after jacking it up that the tire would spin, but with some force, then abruptly stop. Got the new stuff on and it does the same thing. I traced steps. One the caliper came off, the hub was spinning freely, one the caliper was on, became tuff again, all this before bleeding the brakes. Any clues?

Did you replace the brake lines to the calipers? They will collapse internally and act as a check valve! Happened to mine this year!

Check your slide pins.

make sure the pins move freely and the pads move freely in the bracket. make sure the ears (mounts on the calipors) are not bent, that will couse the slides to angle/bend and stick.
