rotor. alignment
I was putting new front brakes on my 03 f150 heritage, and when i put the passenger side on it seemed to be to tight to the rotor. almost like it was not alighned correctly. the wheel did not spin freely and i am not sure what the fix is? anybody experience this before? It is two bolts should not be a big problem but i can't figure it out.

If I'm understanding your post correctly, you replaced the brake pads and on one side the pads are dragging on the rotor even though the brake pedal is not applied.
The only thing that comes to mind is the caliper pistons didn't get pushed in all the way on the side that's dragging, or you bought a bad ( cheap? ) set of pads and the friction material is to thick on one of the pads.
Swap the pads from one side to the other to see if the problem occurs on the other side ?
