Car on jacks, hand spinning wheels, how much resistance is normal?
I'm just wondering, when you hand spin the front and rear wheels, how much felt resistance is normal. On the front, I can feel the brake pads sliding along the rotors and it takes a small bit of force to get the wheels to turn, nothing super significant though. On the rear, the drivers side has some brake resistance, but not much, and on the pass. side, there is almost no resistance, I can spin it with my pinky.
Anyone know? Also, brain fart question, does the Ebrake act on both rear wheels or just one?
Thank you!

im having the same problem. Front right wheel will spin all day. Front driver side wheel stops as soon as i take my hand off it. The pistons in the calliper were not coming in all the way. I just replaced the caliper and that wasn't it. Im looking into other things right now.

Make sure the guide pins aren't siezed up....they should be lubed well and easy to pull out. I had a siezed pin on my passenger side caliper bracket and the f'in wheel wouldn't turn when torqued without a lot of force.
