Question Draggin Brakes

Brake seem to be dragging on 02 F-250 4x4 Power Stroke. With front wheels off of the ground both sides are difficult to rotate by hand. Is this normal? Just how easy should the wheels turn? I removed the right side pads and seem to be a whole lot easier. The vehicle has 55,000 and has at least 5/16 of pad left and when braking the vehicle doesn't pull to the right or left.
Anyone one have a clue?

Welcome to FTE!

I would suspect the slide pins in the caliper brackets. They need to be serviced...

Here is an excellent link: http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/cu.html

Has a step-by-step...with pictures.

Good luck...

I checked the slide pins and they were in great shape. The piston in the caliper was sticking on the right side

How are your hubs? Is the front driveshaft rotating with your tires?
