i recently purchased a new set of powerstop rotors and pads because my old ones were severely warped. the front driver side went on without a problem but as i went to do the passenger side i finished getting everything installed and when i torqued the tire back on the entire thing locked up and wont spin. i had a friend tell me that it could be the caliper bracket but i dont know. any one else run into this problem??

Make sure your caliper slides on the caliper pins freely. The pins and the sleeves inside the caliper will flat-spot. Sometimes, when the calipers are reinstalled, the pins will rotate, the flat spots are no longer aligned, and the mechanism seizes.

not exactly sure what your talking about is there a way to fix this

If your pins are seized, you'll have to replace them. (They are available through any parts store.) First, you need to take your wheel/caliper off and see what is going on.

Could also be something making the brakes stick. Bad hoses, etc.
