    May start by removing the brake caliper and see if the resistance is in the wheel or the brake assy.
    work backwards to find where your problem is.

    question : Did you torque the pinch bolts first, then the axle nut ? If not, you may have the wheel hub in a bind. But first start with the brake caliper removal.

    Good luck -you'll find the problem.

    Wheel spacers correct? The brake rotor bent? Look at the gap in the caliper and make sure the rotor is centered and not binding to either side.
