Brake Problem =/
This is while the car is lifted (all 4 wheels in the air)
Well the front 2 spin perfect even after letting go they spin for a few more seconds. The rear right spins so-so it moves enough the read left is nearly impossible to move. I have to put ALOT of force into it to move it. Now I dont know if this is normal or not. I checked the rotor and pad and they seem to have signs of normal wear. Its weird because I can hear the rotor barely touching the pad when it spins. Any suggestions or anything is apprecaited. I honestly dont have the cash for better brakes or what not so try to be conservative.
Thanks

unbolt the caliper on that side and see if the wheel spins freely. if not check the bearings and diff. if it does spin then check the parking brake cable and retract the piston before you put it back on.

Alright I removed the entire caliper. It moves *better* but still pretty dam hard. How would I go about checking the bearings and diff? Would the diff be making it THAT tough to spin? BTW I checked EVERYTHING Emergency Brake (even though I took it off). Any ideas are immensly apprecaited.

With the wheel on (read: more leverage to spin it) it should be very easy to spin...like, no more than a few pounds of pressure to get it going and then it should spin relatively freely. I'd check that hub to be sure that it's got good bearings/grease in it.
