Put the wheels on and see how hard they are to turn. The pads will still "sit" on the rotor as they will not completly back off from it. They shouldn't be that hard to turn. If they are you have not pushed you pistons back in far enough when installing ur new pads. Use a C Clap to push them back in. They should go back in with little effort.
As for the sqeeking.. Did you apply any " brake quite" when installing the new pads, or use shims?
If not go out and buy a bottle of "Brake Quite". It comes in a red bottle and is almost a silicone that you apple to the back of your shoes where the piston touches. It doesn't let the metal contact each other and therefore you don't get that sqeek.

alright thks man and my pads are old so te sqeeking might jus be the ware indicator (i took the wheels off too check them cause i brake alot on the back roads around here and dont need them too give out on me lol) and i didnt notice them bein this hard too spin till now (i rotated my tires bout a month ago and dont remember them bein this tight)
