New front pads, hard to turn by hand...
I just installed one set so far on the driver side, it was a little difficult to slide the caliper back over the outer pad, but the piston side has pleanty of clearance. The rotor turns but I have to use a little force (without rim and tire installed). Should I drive it around till it wears the pad down a little or get different pads?
Thanks

Glad you found the problem. For future reference, you should be able to slide calipers back and forth quite easily with the pads out. That applies to pretty much any brake calipers.

Last time I did my front brakes, the pins were corroded right into the caliper. I had to spin them for like 15 minutes with an air ratchet before we were able to hammer them out. Replacement pins were tough to find, but Napa found that they had two sets left and ordered them up from a warehouse in some other state. Definitely make sure you lube them with some high quality grease before reassembly.
