It's been a while since I replaced the pads and I can't remember if the hub is supposed to spin freely after you do it. I put the new ones on and the hub is very hard to spin. Do they just have to be broken in or did I miss something? It wasn't that hard to slide the caliper with fresh pads onto the rotor..

When I tighten the caliper to the spindle it makes the inside brake pad loose but it pulls the outside one tight to the disk. Does this mean something is bent?

make sure both sides are bled. no air in either line. you will be okay.

Thanks for the suggestions but i figured it out the two slider bolt things had to be greased.
