Brake hanging up...
Need some help here...

Just replaced the wheel bearings on my 96 F150 5.0 E4OD and my right brake is hanging.

Help a brother out?

did you lube the caliper slide real good
if not try that first
usually after pushing the piston back in
they will start hanging up
time for a rebuilt caliper

Front or rear brakes?
Rear: Is it adjusted properly with the star wheel?
Front: Is the rubber hose kinked? Does the caliper piston move freely?
