    Check to see if there is anything stuck in the caliper between the pads.

    check to see if one of the bolts came out where the calaper is held on. That happened to me when I tapped the brake it would grab on and wedge between the rim and hub.

    well i think i might have unintentionally added some air...i took the brake fluid cap off on the ride side of the quad midway down...dunno if that had anything to do with it or not
    ...whats the easiest way to bleed them

    I was thinking they meant that air in the opposite line was making the other wheel not lock up.
